Namtek Partner Deletes Data Dilemma

May 16, 2012 - PRLog -- BEDFORD, NH. — May 16, 2012 — Namtek Corp., an IT security systems integrator, is pleased to share that preferred partner, Exagrid, recently added even more functionality to its leading back-up solution. The Exagrid system is a plug-and-play disk-based backup solution with over 1,300 customer installations and a track record of reducing backup time by 30 to 90 percent compared to tape backups. Now, Exagrid is making data even more secure.

With traditional backup systems, data is marked as deleted but actually remains in place until it is overwritten, leaving the risk that data may still be accessed. To guarantee higher security and assurance, Exagrid’s new SecureErase feature allows for the permanent and safe deletion of data after backup. This provides the highest level of security for any customer with sensitive data and also helps government-related companies stay compliant with the National Institute of Technology standard SP800-88 and the Department of Defense standard 5220-22-M, both of which include strict requirements for handling confidential information.
