WPC 2015 Partner Brief - Ironkey by Imation

My final partner brief video from WPC 2015 is with the folks from Ironkey by Imation.

They build high end USB based devices called PC on a Stick that can be used in a multitude of scenarios across industries such as education, healthcare and finances.

These ruggedized devices can survive a cycle in your washing machine but if anyone attempts to tamper with the hardware encryption chip on the device that will cause the wire mesh surrounding it to be damaged and subsequently change its electronic signature. That results in the immediate detonation of the info on the device.

By the way, I have been told that is not an explosive detonation of course, but the wiping of the data on it.  

If you are looking for options to provide Windows hardware for temporary/contract workers, BYOD employees or a mobile solution that allows flexibility then Ironkey might be a viable option for you.

Leon Brown, Ironkey's Senior Product Manager, talks to me about the devices, usage scenarios and why an off the store shelf USB drive cannot match their products performance and durability.

But, wait...there's probably more so be sure to follow me on Twitter and Google+.

About the Author

Richard Hay

Senior Content Producer, IT Pro Today (Informa Tech)

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
