I do not agree that NewSQL vendors focus on giving scale-out features to transactional data. The NewSQL market is focusing on giving true ACID support combined with extreme performance, stepping away from the traditional relational structures in databases. A lot of developers appreciate the ease of accessing data using SQL and I think we will see more and more databases supporting standard SQL. As you said - NewSQL databases often maintain the...

Blancco White Paper Highlights Strategies and Technology for Secure Mobile Data Erasure

JOENSUU, Finland, January 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

Document is available online and at Blancco's exhibit at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, February 25-28

Gartner predicts that by 2016, two-thirds of the mobile workforce will own a smartphone, and the devices will be loaded with sensitive corporate, customer or employee data. Unfortunately, the majority of businesses have few specific policies in place to ensure this data is secure, particularly when it comes to decommissioning a smartphone or tablet that is disposed of, reassigned or sent for recycling.

To fully eliminate the risk of costly data breaches, organizations must adopt advanced data erasure policies as a best practice-and that includes policies for mobile device data. With a new white paper titled, "Mobile Devices in the Enterprise: Data Erasure Strategies for Businesses," Blancco, the global leader in data erasure and computer reuse solutions, addresses how enterprises can ensure the utmost in data erasure security practices for these data-rich devices.

In the paper, Blancco outlines the advantages that certified data erasure - a software-based approach for overwriting and fully eliminating all electronic information - offers over physical destruction of devices, factory resetting and less comprehensive software overwriting approaches.

"One method of erasing data is with software that completely overwrites the device's memory, but many applications do not provide a critical element- reporting," said Kim Väisänen, CEO and Co-Founder of Blancco. "For truly secure data erasure, solutions must produce a verifiable report with electronic serial numbers and other hardware details that prove the data is completely erased, which is necessary for regulatory compliance and a safe resale or reuse of the device."

The white paper outlines the advantages of a solution like Blancco Mobile, which provides verifiable proof of data erasure. In addition to its efficiency, this advanced data erasure software can detect and simultaneously erase user data from different types of smartphone and tablet platforms because it communicates directly with their operating systems.
