XErase
Uxbridge, Massachusetts, United States
What it is
XErase is Windows software for automating secure erasure across individual drives, enclosures, and storage arrays. It supports PXE network boot, USB boot, stand-alone erasure stations, and native installation. Stand-alone deployment lists more than 35 erasure and validation options, and users can create methods during use. The maker lists NIST verification support and says methods can be configured around NIST and DoD-based approaches. XErase produces tamper-proof reports in PDF, XML, CSV, and TXT formats. In PXE and USB deployments, one server can remotely control hundreds of systems. PXE workflows can gather system and physical-condition information, run burn-in tests, inject drivers, and automate re-imaging and application installation. Listed ERP connections include Makor, Razor, and CycleLution; additional licensing may be required. Per-device logs are stored locally on the erasure station or PXE server, and the software does not provide a database that stores customer data. Windows 10 or Windows Server is required, along with an x64 Intel or AMD processor and 8 GB of memory. Pricing is on request, and a free-trial request form is available. Without an active license, demo mode leaves menu controls and icons inactive.
