FDRERASE is the sole z/OS and LUW Disk Erase Solution with a US Government EAL2+ Data Protection Certification.

Little Falls, NJ. May 14, 2008 - INNOVATION, is announcing at the EMC World Conference in Las Vegas NV, that its FDRERASE Suite is the sole internationally recognized solution for the secure erasure of LUW (Linux/Unix/Windows) and z/OS sensitive data from disk with a US Government CCEVS EAL2+ Data Protection Certification.

The PCI (Payment Card Industry) Data Security Standard, HIPAA Legislation (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) and Californiaís Security Breach Notification Act are common examples of the innumerous privileged information and personal identity protection regulations that require banks, card payment services, computer service providers, educational institutions, government agencies, hospitals, insurance, telecommunication companies and a host of other organizations to have data disposal plans, that include the verifiable removal of privileged, financial and personal identity information from disk storage prior to its disposal or repurposing, and especially important before leaving a DR siteî, said Thomas J. Meehan, INNOVATION Data Processing, Vice President Advancing Technology.

Our successful completion of an EAL2+ evaluation by the US validating authority, Meehan went on, means FDRERASE for z/OS and FDRERASE/OPEN, both of which comply with current US Department of Defense directives on the subject, are the right choice for the quick and safe secure erasure of data from LUW external SAN disk, servers, laptops, USB memory sticks as well as z/OS disk storage systems from major hardware vendors like, EMC, Hitachi, IBM and SUN.

FDRERASE is always going to be the fastest way to securely erase specific disk devices and consequently, according to Meehan, ìit is already very popular with organizations that recognize their responsibility to comply with these data protection directivesî. Meehan adding FDRERASE History Reports, identifying and documenting the erase and verification of specific units, make it a snap to satisfy even the most stringent audit requirements.
