Most businesses now have the regulatory or other requirements to ensure that all media are subjected to significant erasure attempts before disposal or reallocation. Simple formatting is not sufficient to clear the space with sufficient reliability to prevent old data from being recovered.

Solution: (Optional)(Desired/undesired elements Note: Making a suggestion may limit a vendors ability to deliver a solution)

 

Add a DSE erasure capability to DFSMS/VM to perform the equivalent of DSF INSPECT when combined with DIRMAINT
