As a service provider authorized by Apple, ComputerCare can directly utilize Apple’s Customer Data Migration (CDM) tool. This empowers us to offer our customers top-notch end-of-life (EOL) asset management services.
The CDM is a tool certified by Apple’s Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) that can be employed to transfer or safely eliminate user data on Apple laptops equipped with inbuilt SSD drives. We understand that numerous clients of ours have stringent data protection requirements. In the past, this meant that they were obligated to extract and destruct hard drive components from their EOL assets, consequently forfeiting considerable resale value when they sold or donated the equipment.
This is where the CDM becomes invaluable. Our status as an Apple Authorized Service Provider enables us to use this tool to overwrite all data present in SSD drives. You can rest assured of the thoroughness of this process. Overwriting the data three times aligns with the US Department of Energy’s standard for securely erasing magnetic media. Overwriting the data seven times conforms to the US Department of Defense 5220-22-M. For those whose devices have depleted their power, we’ve got you covered. As long as the SSD connector remains operational, even if the rest of the machine is defunct, the tool can still be utilized effectively.
We recognize the challenges of deciding how to handle devices as they age and their manufacturers discontinue their support. That’s why ComputerCare has committed to maintaining such a high standard of Apple service that we’ve been granted Authorized Service Provider status. This allows us to access tools that facilitate the smoother operation of our clients’ businesses. If you own devices that are exhibiting signs of age, don’t worry. Reach out to us today for uncomplicated, efficient EOL asset management.
