Command Center is Ziperase’s network boot or PXE boot solution capable of erasing large volumes of computers at a time. The software comes with its own operating system that installs onto a local server centrally within an organization or for a specific processing line. Command Center is composed of multiple components that come together to make a full-service erasure solution:
- PXE boot server, enabling quick network booting of erasure clients on a local secured network
- License server for local storage of disk erasure licenses
- Report database for capture of erasure, process, and hardware details
- Web UI for live control of erasure clients, detailed report building, and centralized configuration management
- Click the License Tool icon on the desktop environment.
- Type the number of licenses to add into the Request box.
- Click “Transfer from portal”.
- Enter your Customer Portal username and password and click “Send Request”.
- Wait for the server response, and click “OK” before exiting the license tool.
- Click the License Tool icon on the desktop environment.
- Type the number of licenses to add into the Request box.
- Click “Generate request key” and copy or make note of the generated request key.
Do not close the page until the response key has been filled. - On another computer with an internet connection or mobile phone, go to the Request Licenses page in the Ziperase Customer Portal, then paste or type the generated key into the License Key text box.
- Click “Make Request”, then copy or make a note of the generated Response Key.
- Paste or type the response key into the request dialog on the License Tool on the application.
The Command Center Installation license store will be updated with the requested number of licenses and the refresh date will be extended.
Computers that don’t have an Ethernet port can connect wirelessly. The computer can be booted from a USB drive and then connects back to the Command Center for licensing, reporting, and configuration with preconfigured WiFi credentials.
Once the Ziperase Command Center is installed and run for the first time, you’ll see a desktop environment with an onboarding screen. This screen will walk you through the setup process of configuring and adding licenses.
Command Center includes a full operating system that needs to be installed on a server or host computer. The host computer controls an isolated erasure network to which target computers connect via network cables.
Command Center minimum requirements:
By default, Ziperase Command Center creates a new self-signed certificate during installation to encrypt communication between the browser and the server.
Erasure Client minimum requirements:
The self-signed certificate is renewed every year because it expires.
The Command Center can be booted as a live-cd or from a USB drive created with Boot Media Creator. The installation wizard will guide the operator through repartitioning the storage of the workstation/server and installing the Command Center software. For a step-by-step guide see the Command Center Quick-Start guide.
A self-signed certificate may be deemed less secure by a browser as it’s “signed” by the server it identifies rather than by an external CA.
