CASE STUDYENTERPRISE

The ChallengeWith more than half a mi l l ion systems real located or recycled annual ly , Cit iGroup IT needed an efficient and 100% secure means of data destruct ion. Because of the extreme sensit iv i ty of the data, pr ior to using WipeDrive Cit i re l ied on actual physical destruct ion of the dr ives. Physical destruct ion is expensive, and wasteful as these computers can st i l l be reused internal ly or donated to charitable organizat ions.

The SolutionUsing WipeDrive Enterprise PXE boot server al lowed Cit i to create an environment where large numbers of systems could be processed by a very smal l number of technic ians. A s ingle tech can process hundreds of systems dai ly leveraging WipeDrive ’s highly automated process. As part of this procedure, WipeDrive Enterprise diagnoses hardware issues to el iminate problem systems.

WipeDrive Enterprise provided Cit i with an audit log for each piece of hardware, creat ing a permanent trai l proving that each drive had been successful ly wiped.

ResultsCit i not only saved money by using WipeDrive Enterprise, rather than destroying the outdated computers and drives, but they were able to contr ibute to the communit ies that they served. Cit i now donates thousands of computers to worthy organizat ions, and lowered their environmental footprint by reusing their computers.
