¶ What is WIPERAPP
WIPERAPP is a network system for safe data removal, working within CLIENT/SERVER architecture.
SERVER is a computer on which the WIPERAPP system has been installed. It fulfils a crucial role in the data erasing process and:
- It is equipped with a built in DHCP server; its configuration activates the start of computers with the disks to be erased (system clients) using network PXE protocol, and it distributes IP addresses to them,
- It enables the start of the application wiping out disks on added client computers,
- It allows for setting default parameters of drives’ erasure on all activated client computers,
- It manages the licenses allowing the removal of data from disks,
- It gathers information about the erased drives: used mechanism of cleaning, time of the process, the outcome of verification and hardware configuration of the computer containing wiped disk,
- It enables the generation and downloading of a unique certificate, confirming data removal from the disk. This certificate is available in PDF. When printed, constitutes one of the verification process mechanisms.
A CLIENT is a computer, linked to the server’s interface WIPE, containing hard drives that are to be wiped out. Client’s interface adjusts to the amount of disks detected and displays table, picturing in a row each hard drive identified in the system.
The system allows for data removal from following types of hard drives:
- NVMe
- SSD
- SSHD
- HDD
- USB pendrives
- SD cards
Connected through interfaces
- PCIe
- SATA
- uSATA
- mSATA
- M.2
- USB to SATA - (WIPERAPP works only with USB to SATA adapters which completely supports “SAT” (SCSI-ATA Command Translation)
Moreover the system works with hot-swap disks on designated platform.
