Ensconce Data Technology (EDT) thinks solution providers should get hefty double-digit margins for shredding data.

The Portsmouth, N.H. company, founded in 2002, markets a Digital Shredder system built around technology used by the U.S. military that destroys hard drive data beyond forensic recovery. With companies facing a new wave of government data compliance and security regulations, EDT is looking for solution providers that want to add end-of-life data solutions to their security and storage practices.

THE COMPANY: ENSCONCE DATA TECHNOLOGY, PORTSMOUTH, N.H.

FOCUS: A DIGITAL SHREDDER THAT DESTROYS DATA BEYOND FORENSIC RECOVERY.
"With this tool, solution providers have the ability to make margins they haven't seen since the '80s," said EDT co-founder Dan Schneider. "From our military experience, we saw an opportunity in the enterprise world to come up with what we consider a failsafe solution for end-of-life data on all hard drives."

EDT's Digital Shredder offers a way to decommission hard drives that have reached end of life that the company says is more reliable than commercial software, degaussing machines and mechanical destruction. The Digital Shredder's Secure Erase technology utilizes internal disk drive code to perform low frequency recording. It can erase up to three hard drives at once and disks can be of mixed type ATA/IDE, SATA or SCSI (available in January 2008). It also supports 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch drives.
