First secure external HDD with cloud management

Imation announced a high-security, high-performance external USB 3.0 SuperSpeed hard drive capable of being managed in the cloud.

Using a single centralized, cloud-based management console, enterprise and public sector IT administrators have visibility into IronKey Enterprise H300 hard drives as well as their IronKey Enterprise flash drives and IronKey secure workspace devices for Windows To Go. This console lets users customize security policies and deploy and manage protected portable devices across the enterprise.

The IronKey Enterprise H300 features AES 256-bit hardware encryption with USB 3.0 SuperSpeed and a Section 508 compliant control panel that is available in eight languages, enabling the most demanding organizations and agencies to safeguard and secure up to 1TB of data.

IronKey Enterprise Management Service allows customers to establish a secure storage command center for administering and policing the use of IronKey encrypted drives. With the IronKey Silver Bullet Service and Active Malware Defense, users can centrally administer policies, re-commission devices that are no longer in use, and remotely wipe or disable lost or stolen drives.

The IronKey Enterprise H300 is the only drive to offer secure password reset when a password is forgotten without erasing all the content on the drive. In addition, customers can manage the hard drives on-premise by using the IronKey Enterprise Management Server, which offers the same management features and benefits as the cloud-based version in an in-house solution.

Imation is also offering the IronKey Basic H300 USB 3.0 hard drive, which includes all the features of the enterprise version but without management.

The IronKey Enterprise and IronKey Basic H300 are USB 2.0 compatible and provide support for complex and custom password policies, including length, special characters, expiration and more. The H300 hard drives are built to survive years of wear and tear.
