Data Deletion in the Data Centre
Data centres are data repositories for a range of sensitive company data and personal data. The protection and secure deletion of these data play a crucial role at the end of the useful life of servers and storage systems.
Our data deletion concept includes the complete decommissioning of the server and storage systems – from removal at the place of application through to the seamless reporting of the data destruction. Our modular service concept covers all steps of the process and provides data security for your individual security requirement:
- Seamless process chain with system-supported processes (removal at the place of application, compliant transport, special secure storage area)
- Use of standardised data deletion software in accordance with international standards and regulations (e.g. BSI Federal Office for Information Security), DoD 5220.22-M, NIST 800-88/ATA, HMG Infosec Standard No. 5, HIPAA or Sarbanes-Oxley)
- Audit-proof deletion logs
- Data deletion for all kinds of hard drives and storage systems (e.g. NAS, SAN, iSCSI, Fibre Channel, SPARC server, storage or disk arrays)
- Security-cleared system specialists
- Provision of services in the data centre on-site or in secure storage areas

Destruction of Data Media
Data media often have to be physically destroyed. Our mobile shredder allows data media to be destroyed on-site and satisfies all of the requirements of the new DIN standard 66399 in line with the maximum protection class 3, security level 5, particle size H-5. This allows storage devices with data media, with confidential information of existential importance for a company, to be permanently destroyed.
Our lorry travels to your location and shreds the data media on your company premises, under the supervision of a notary or a data protection officer if desired. Following the successful destruction, you receive a destruction certificate, including a list of the individual serial numbers of the data media. Upon request, we can also provide video documentation of the destruction of the data media.
- Shredding of hard drives, magnetic tapes up to 3.5″, CDs/DVDs, Blu-Rays, disks, customer and credit cards and USB sticks
- Type of shredding: Particles
- Shredding width: 11.5 mm
- Particle length: 26 mm
- New security level (DIN 66399) 3 / T-3 / E-2 / H-5

Data Deletion
Compliance with all of the stipulations in the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) Baseline Protection Manual M2.167 as well as DoD 5220.22-M is ensured. Depending on the order, we use the Blancco Datacleaner of ToolStar Test deletion software. The desired security level governs the number of complete overwriting processes and the selected deletion procedure.
We have integrated the deletion software into a network-based overall process. Human error can therefore be ruled out. Defective data media are mechanically destroyed and shredded on-site. Seamless documentation, incl. deletion logs, digital images and proof of destruction based on the serial number of the data medium, are provided as a matter of course.
- Seamless process chain with system-supported processes
- Use of certified data deletion software in accordance with international standards (e.g. BSI (Federal Office for Information Security), DoA, NIST, HMG Infosec)
- Compliance with all legal requirements
- Data deletion for all kinds of hard drives and devices

Recycling
We also offer a secure solution for defective devices and components and thus provide a comprehensive take-back concept from one single source. From the purchase of used IT-equipment to trade-in programs and services as well as disposal – EURATECH has the right solution and provides security due to long-term experience.
As a certified waste specialist pursuant to Sections 56 and 57 of the Closed Substance Cycle and Waste Management Act (KrWG) and as participant in the “Umweltpakt Bayern” (Environmental Pact of Bavaria), sustainable economic management is a key focus of our activities. Particularly the handling of used and defective IT-equipment requires a high degree of responsibility and security, not least because of the data contained. Data carriers from defective devices and defective hard discs go also through our data security process like functioning systems.
We practice an active environmental management system according to DIN ISO 14001 and meet the requirements of WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive).

Trade-In Programs
Where new systems will be purchased, there are also used systems. In addition to returning and recycling the products to be exchanged, an active Trade-In program offers ways to provide added value to your customers. Increase your sales, by trading-in used products from your customers and providing them an extra budget to buy your products while at the same time offering a reliable solution for the processing of their used systems and data carriers.
With many years of experience we can support you with the execution of such a program.
We collect the IT systems from your customer, check the devices and determine their current value, delete your customer’s data (e.g. pursuant to BSI (Federal Office for Information Security) M2.167 or DoD 5220.22-M) and provide all the necessary information on the used devices that have been traded in. Additionally, we provide you with an appropriate platform to actively market your trade-in program and take care of it. The processing of payments to your customers as well as the environmentally friendly disposal of non-marketable products is also part of our services.
Create added value for your customer with a EURATECH trade-in program.

EURATECH takes over the professional prepartion of the equipment including data deletion and, if necessary, installation of required software and enhancements, the provision of a web portal for an employee sales program, the sale, customer support, logistics and dispatch.

Remarketing
Obsolete IT products, leasing returns or returned products – most of these devices still have a certain value. EURATECH with its international sales network and product specialists assist you with the optimal marketing of your used IT devices, from PCs to mainframe units.
We provide three options to ensure that you receive a maximum return:

Detailed test and audit reports providing all technical details and prices of the equipment (to be) sold are the basis of our billing. This gives you an overview of the composition of revenues for each unit and you have absolute security right to the end of the process.

Starting with the timely delivery of new systems to your employee’s individual workplace, the secure packaging of your valuable used devices for the secure transport in accordance with the recommendations of the BSI (Federal Office for Information Security) through to the certified data erasure at your local facility – our experienced staff ensure an optimum treatment of your systems at any time using appropriate transport and packaging material and prevent transport damages due to improper packaging, the loss of non-deleted data carriers or additional expenses due to poor project control.

Stocktaking and Cataloguing, Incl. Valuation
When planning the replacement of existing workplace systems and the associated peripherals (monitors, printers, etc.), one of the biggest challenges is to determine the current technical inventory of installed products and their market value. The still existing value of use of the existing hardware is often a determinant for the decision to replace devices – many times the value is higher than expected, and additional “budgets” are available through the sale.
To enable reliable planning with your used systems , EURATECH can assist with inventory including recording of the common technical features.
To keep the expenses as low as possible, we rely on network-based solutions. Finally you get, in addition to the technical analysis, a valuation of the current trade-in value for your devices. Thus you can determine exactly which parts of your IT landscape switching to new products is useful.

Roll-Out & Roll-Back Management
As part of our roll-back solutions, we take over the entire return of your IT landscape, from PCs to comprehensive storage solutions. We handle the proper removal at the current location, the secure transport as well as data deletion and all activities associated with the return of your devices to be replaced.
In addition, we offer our roll-out management solution. EURATECH prepare your new equipment for use in your offices, including transport to each workplace and setup on-site. We check the delivered new systems, assemble these for the respective areas of application according to the roll-out plan, install your individual software and hardware package, take care of the logistics and install and commission the devices on-site. And at the same time the devices to be returned are removed and immediately processed via our roll-back process which avoids unnecessary storing of used devices, including undeleted data carriers and information they contain.
The significant reduction in coordination efforts between different service providers and the protection of internal resources, our integrated concept of roll-out and roll-back solutions also guarantees fast, secure and efficient processing outside of standard working hours, all from one single source. With EURATECH you have a reliable partner who is always there when needed.
