The Trusted Computing Group is an organization that develops open standards for trusted computing platforms. ALBUS-6385 - Support for TCG Cryptographic Erasure on SCSI/SAS drives. The 2WC is now possible on BDE_HW images that are meant to be permanently installed on an erasure station. ALBUS-6491, ALBUST-539 - Enable the Two-Way Communication on BDE HW Images. an Asset ID per drive from the Asset Management System to BDE and keeping the report information complete.
ALBUS-6628 - Per-drive custom field values can be filled in through a job specification.
BDE can be configured to fail the erasure if the erasure speed is slow and below a set threshold. ALBUS-6641, ALBUST-558 - Configurable threshold on drive speed to fail the erasure. The "NIST 800-88 Purge" standard has been optimized on HDDs and the erasure duration can be divided by 6 on some drives. ALBUS-6600 - Faster NIST Purge on large HDDs. The operator should simply select the drives to erase, set the maximum amount of simultaneous erasures and run the erasure, the rest will be handled automatically. 2 batches of 50 drives, 5 batches of 20 drives or any other combination. In a nushell, 100 drives can be erased in e.g.
ALBUS-4829, ALBUST-553 - Limit the maximum amount of simultaneous erasures (a.k.a. The BMC 4.8.0 and higher are fully compatible with all BDE releases (= 6.6.0). If you are using the Blancco Cloud, it is fully compatible with BDE 6.6.0 and higher. If you are using a local BMC and want to upgrade to BDE 6.6.0 or higher, please upgrade first to BMC 4.8.0 or higher. Important: Due to a new report digital signature, the Blancco Drive Eraser releases v6.6.0 and higher are not compatible with the Blancco Management Console 4.7.1 or lower (report importing and sending will fail consistently).
