    Designed in conjunction with the VMware Technology Alliance Partner (TAP) Program,
Blancco vCloud Eraser adds an extra dimension to vCloud Director's security foundation.
With seamless integration and access through the vCloud Director user interface, Blancco
vCloud Eraser automatically destroys all data when a virtual server   -vApp   - is deleted
and provides a detailed report as proof.

    "Standard forensic tools can recover data from deleted virtual servers, as can occur
with physical servers, so full erasure is necessary for complete security," said Markku
Willgren, president, Blancco U.S. operations. "With reporting and auditing features,
vCloud Eraser helps enterprises and cloud services customers comply with internal and
external data privacy and destruction regulations, while also allowing cloud hosting
providers to offer value-added services."

    A sponsor of the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) Congress 2013
[http://www.cloudsecuritycongress.com/us.html ], December 4-5 in Orlando, Fla., Blancco
