A new booting parameter 'flr=forced' is supported.This allows updating some of the default settings directly from the UI, without the need to predefine them via DECT.The UI settings on Hardware Appliance are now saved on the internal drive: any UI setting (language, keyboard layout, erasure standard/options, etc.) modified during the session will be 'remembered' after rebooting the appliance.It achieves a very quick erasure (under one minute) independently of the drive type, interface or capacity. This erasure can be triggered on any drive (HDD, SSD, NVMe) that supports the Crypto Erase command.It executes a firmware command that replaces the encryption key located within the drive, this scrambles all the drive's content rendering the data nonsensical and irretrievable. There is a new erasure standard available: 'Cryptographic Erasure'.It requires less maintenance for the appliances and less machines to back up, it also allows an optimal usage of the MC user roles/authorities and shared/individual licenses. Using a centralized location to store the licenses and reports makes sense especially if you have several hardware appliances.The new mode allows to consume licenses from or send reports to a centralized location (MC installed on the network or Blancco Cloud).

The Blancco Hardware appliances can now be booted in two modes: localMC (old mode, runs both Drive Eraser and Management Console on the same machine, no network connectivity) and externalMC (new mode, runs Drive Eraser only, offers network connectivity).Blancco Hardware Appliances with network support.
