Comparison of BitRaser Drive Eraser Variants:
Let's explore the distinctions between BitRaser Drive Eraser variants:
- Cloud: The Cloud variant of BitRaser Drive Eraser is delivered electronically via email. The buyer gets the login credentials of the BitRaser cloud console through which the user can download the software ISO file and access erasure licenses. Using the cloud variant, you can simultaneously erase up to 100 drives in a chassis. Unlimited drives can be wiped using the cloud variant. The ISO file image is burnt on a USB that can be easily connected to a PC, laptop (including Mac), or chassis to wipe multiple drives. The variant also supports ERP & API integration with asset management tools.
- Network Cloud: The Network Cloud variant has been specifically developed keeping in mind the large-scale erasure requirements of organizations and IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) companies. It supports the erasure of up to a whopping 65,000 drives simultaneously, deployed over a network through PXE. The erasure reports are saved in the centralized cloud console.
- Offline: The Offline variant is delivered physically. Two USBs are delivered to your location as specified - One for software and the other for licenses. Unlike the cloud variant, this allows wiping devices and drives at locations without internet. The erasure reports are saved locally on the BitRaser bootable USB.
