What is "GreenPepper PRO"?


Developed as a standard disk erasing tool for implementing security policies in the enterprise. It is a simple, compact, and erasing tool with the necessary functions.
It is intended for corporate use, where the erasing environment set by the system department is distributed to users. We have prepared various customization and distribution methods so that you can erase in a unified way within the company.

Establishment of a unified erasing method within the company,

When distributing the erasure program within the company, you can specify and fix the erasure method. The operator can perform the erasing work in the specified method with a simple operation. It is possible to realize erasing work with a unified policy within the company.
* A corresponding license is required for distribution.

Support for many types of disk drives

It supports a wide range. PATA (PararelATA), SATA (SerialATA), NVMe disks, standard for desktops and notebook PCs. eMMCs used in tablets. SCSI, SAS, FC (Fibre Channel) used in server systems, and even RAID configuration disks.
It also supports Secure Erase and Sanitize of ATA/SATA, SSD, NVMe, eMMC.

High-speed, multitasking parallel processing

Due to the Linux-based system, disk access is very fast. In addition, the multitasking function erases multiple connected disks in parallel. It reduces the time of the very time-consuming erasing process.

Supports various erasing methods, and Secure Erase / Sanitize

In addition to 1-4 erase method, it supports Secure Erase / Sanitize, which is almost indispensable for SSDs. It can be erased by a method that complies with the US Army compliant method (AR380-19), the US Department of Defense standard (DoD5220.22-M), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST SP 800-88), etc.
Moreover, in case of a read / write error, it retries finely for each sector and incorporates a control for more reliable erasing.

Supports various boot methods

Supports CD boot, USB flash drive boot, and hard disk boot. You can choose the best startup method.
In addition to the legacy BIOS boot, it supports UEFI (Secure Boot on many PC) boots.

Log output that can be checked for tampering

Logs that are important as erasure records can be saved to the network (Windows share, FTP), HDD, USB flash drive, FD, etc. In addition, although the log is in an easy-to-use text format, it can be checked for tampering with a checksum.

Support for writing logs to the network

An increasing number of companies are restricting the use of writable media such as USB flash drive due to security policies. With "Green Pepper PRO", by booting from a CD and writing logs to a network drive, it is possible to write important management logs to a network drive even in a read-only media environment. You can also centrally manage logs on the network server. In addition to onboard Ethernet, it also supports USB-LAN and wireless LAN.
