Hard drive retention option

If your organization is legally required to safeguard the privacy of sensitive information, then your hard drives contain data that you are responsible for protecting. And when one of your hard drives needs replacement, chances are you would prefer to keep that hard drive and dispose of its data yourself.

The IBM Hardware Maintenance Services – maintenance enhancements – hard drive retention option enables you to do just that. This option:

• Helps you protect data stored on hard drives needing replacement
• Represents a maintenance service enhancement for IBM System i™, IBM System p™, IBM System x™ and IBM System z™ platforms and IBM storage products
• Supports your ability to meet regulatory requirements
• Streamlines the hard drive retention process, enabling you to retain failed hard drives
• Integrates data security compliance into system support processes
• Simplifies asset tracking and depreciation by embedding hard drive retention into the support expense.
