challenges of storing and securing sensitive data," said Dan Dalton,
director, Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc. "At the same time,
there is a growing need to securely dispose of confidential information to
meet strict regulations and maintain industry compliance. The Mag EraSURE
P3M degausser is a cost-effective, deployable solution for the swift, easy,
and reliable elimination of sensitive data."
    The Fujitsu Mag EraSURE P3M degausser includes the following
specifications and features:
    --  Meets Department of Defense requirements for degaussing all
        magnetically recorded data on HDDs (up to 5300 Oe for longitudinal
        recording and up to 5000 Oe for perpendicular recording)
    --  Full manual operation (no power required)
    --  Utilizes patented rare earth-permanent magnets for long life
    --  Cycle times as quick as 10 seconds
    --  Install on table top or 19" rack mount
    --  Operates continuously without degradation
    The Mag EraSURE P3M device is the newest product in the Fujitsu family
of degaussers. Its sister products, the Mag EraSURE P2V degausser for
commercial applications and the Mag EraSURE P3E degausser for high security
applications, were introduced in early 2006. With over thirty-five years of
experience in hard disk drive manufacturing, Fujitsu has the unique
knowledge and expertise to deliver best-in-class, high-performance
commercial degaussers.
