Miami, FL (PRWEB) June 16, 2009 -- Proton Data Security, a leader in manufacturing data destruction and data declassification products, announces the release of a new and advanced degausser, the Proton ObliTERAtor 2.0. Employing a patented EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) technology for quick and secure destruction of magnetic data at an astonishing 20,000 Gauss magnetic field rating, the Proton ObliTERAtor 2.0 is the most powerful degausser available in the market today. In 45 seconds, the degausser will erase terabytes worth of data when erasing and recycling disk drives and magnetic storage media. At 120 pounds, the ObliTERAtor 2.0 is one of the lightest in its class and is available for immediate shipment from authorized Proton resellers.

The ObliTERAtor 2.0 provides Proton's customers with the means to erase information from hard drives and other electronic media by completely destroying terabytes of confidential data. This capability will result in an important value proposition and cost savings over the next several years as disk density increases, and as information security and data destruction become more prevalent with the enforcement of regulations like FACTA, HIPAA, GLB, Basil II and the DPA. The ObliTERAtor 2.0 is manufactured in the USA.
