Data Erase Administrator Guide

Introduction

Data Erase enables IT administrators to remotely erase PC data from the cloud or equip their organization with a secure solution that the employees can use to locally sanitize their devices from any location. This solution offers the flexibility of self-service software, ensuring that employees can manage their end-user data securely and conveniently.

Data Erase performs an erasure that is compliant with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication (SP) 800-88 Revision 1 "Guideline for Media Sanitization"—NIST 800-88 Purge - ATA.

The Data Erase service is available with the purchase of ProDeploy Plus. With each ProDeploy Plus purchase, you are entitled to one erase credit. One erase credit can be used to erase one drive. As an IT Administrator, you can manage the erase credits using the TechDirect portal. TechDirect is an online portal that allows you to manage your Dell Technologies products from one central location saving you time and boosting your productivity.

The information in this document is intended for IT Administrators who manage the erase credits, remotely erase the PC data, and enable the users to erase their drives securely.
