Millennium Offers 3 types of Data Destruction:
Hard Drive Crushing
Hard Drives will be crushed by a high pressure blade press to eliminate data from being recovered. Hard Drives will then proceed through the recycling process.
Shredding
Hard Drives and/or CPUs can be shredded to eliminate the possibility of any data ever being recovered. CPUs and/or hard drives will progress through this process using the highest level of security as it passes from the customer to the shredder.
Data Wiping
Millennium uses DBAN which has 2 primary features: network wiping & automated reporting. DBAN is a proven product with units of code that have been used millions of times.
Millennium with the help of DBAN provides accuracy and compliance to your reporting. DBAN reports hardware failure. Any drives that fail the wipe process are destroyed mechanically. DBAN also automatically records the serial number, manufacturer and drive capacity of each drive it overwrites. This data can be reconciled with asset tags to produce exportable reports.
