Case Study: American Cloud Computing Company speeds server decommissioning with Blancco Drive Eraser

Increasing Data Center Efficiency for an American Cloud Computing Company

An American cloud computing company was struggling to decommission hundreds of leased servers due to an inefficient data erasure process from their existing software, which had a high failure rate and required drives to be removed individually, taking days per server. They required a secure, reliable, and faster solution to handle their massive backlog and approached the vendor, Blancco, for its Drive Eraser product.

Blancco developed its Drive Eraser solution to support the company's specific hardware, enabling technicians to erase many servers at once directly in the rack. This eliminated the security risk of the backlog, allowing the company to erase hundreds of servers in just a few days. Blancco's solution provided a reliable, secure process with verifiable erasure certificates and trained the internal team to establish regular erasure procedures, leading to a more efficient global decommissioning process.
