Degaussing - secure deletion of data from magnetic tapes

The process of eliminating magnetization on a media is called degaussing (the unit of measure of magnetic inductive force is the gauss, named for mathematician Karl Friedrich Gauss).

As a special service we offer to degauss all magnetic media with complete reliability and confidentiality.
The magnetization of the media will be reduced up to –90db - after which data can't be reconstructed. Accredited by NATO for security measures under number 5836-99-500-5299 (60Hz) und Nr. 5836-99-591-3345 (50Hz) und Din 33858.

The content of the media devices is never read, copied or analyzed in any manner. If desired, we can degauss the media at your site.

Degaussing removes all data, formating and control track information from data tapes, leaving the media in optimum condition for re-use or disposal.
Prices for degaussing, all prices are net prices subject to local VAT and exclude carriage charges.

DLT III and IV Tapes - min. 10 tapes 7,50 € / each
DLT III and IV Tapes - min. 25 tapes 6,50 € / each

other tape formats on request. For pricing and availability, please give us a call +49 (0) 69/ 95 40 39 33 or send an E-mail.

re-usable tape formats after degaussing:
DLT Tape III, Tape IIIXT, Tape IV, SuperDLT Tape-1
DAT DDS1, DDS2, DDS3, DDS4
AIT AIT-1, AIT-2, AIT-3
3480, 3490E all
9-Spur Reel-to-Reel all


Some media devices can't be used after their deletion because factory made servo-tracks are also deleted.

tape formats for secure disposal after degaussing:

LTO Ultrium 1, Ultrium 2, Ultrium 3
Magstar 3570-B, 3570-C, 3590, 3590-E
