IRONKEY™ WORKSPACE W500 & W300

SIMPLIFY COMPLIANCE & KEEP MOBILE WORKERS AND STUDENTS PRODUCTIVE

DATA BREACHES AREN’T JUST FOR BANKS. Educational institutions at all levels – local K-12 districts, community colleges, online schools and four-year universities – house a vast amount of sensitive personal information about student, faculty and staff. Social Security Numbers, credit card numbers and medical records all can be leaked, with devastating results. And higher education research often produces valuable intellectual property that belongs to the university or its funding partners – and whose loss may threaten financing, reputations, new breakthroughs and even national security.

SAFELY MOBILIZE FACULTY, STAFF – AND EVEN STUDENTS.The truth is, few work environments are as open and as difficult to manage as education. Many institutions decentralize their IT operations across campuses or departments, and school-owned computers are physically available to dozens of people every day. Add mobility to the mix – with employees teleworking from home or other campuses and students bringing school computing home – and threats to your data, applications, computers or networks multiply quickly.

DON’T FORGET COMPLIANCE. Mobile workers also pose potential problems for institutions that must comply with regulations such as the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).

Now more than ever, educational institutions need a secure and cost-effective work environment for mobile employees, researchers and students.

EQUIP EMPLOYEES AND STUDENTS TO WORK FROM ANYWHERE. Now there’s a solution that equips them with a fully functioning Windows 8 desktop protected by a trusted IronKey USB flash drive. With IronKey Workspace W500 and W300 drives, you can transform virtually any computer into your employees’ or students’ own personal workspace capable of using all host system resources – and certified by Microsoft for Windows To Go1.

• Use a centralized IT Windows image, complete with all your organization’s applications, from virtually any computer.

• Enable administrators, teachers, researchers and students to handle necessary tasks during power outages, severe storms, earthquakes, fires or other disasters.

PROTECT YOUR DATA, APPLICATIONS, RESEARCH DATABASES AND MORE.IronKey Workspace W500 and W300 drives let you control access to your institution’s mobile Windows To Go desktops with built-in password protection capabilities and up to 256-bit AES hardware encryption.

PROTECTION OF SENSITIVE DATAProblem: Breaches of sensitive data are costly. They can trigger losses in research funding, threaten public-private partnerships, expose students and employees to identity theft, and deal serious blows to your reputation.

Solution: IronKey Workspace W500 and W300 help protect your data and your institution by safeguarding portable desktops and data with password authentication and up to 256-bit AES hardware encryption. And data is automatically protected upon device removal.

IT-MANAGED DESKTOPS AND DEVICESProblem: When mobile workers use home computers or systems in uncontrolled environments, they risk exposing files, networks and applications to unauthorized software and malware.

Solution: IronKey Workspace W500 and W300 flash drives let you equip users to work anywhere using environments that are provisioned and managed by IT and that mirror your institution’s desktop. Optional enterprise-class administration and mass provisioning platforms2 give IT management the ability to control drive access and usage, set password

policies and deploy large numbers of mobile workspaces.

DEVICE QUALITYProblem: Too many portable workspace solutions are made with inexpensive, unreliable commodity parts.

Solution: Rugged IronKey Workspace drives undergo thousands of hours of rigorous read/write tests to help ensure users are getting a USB flash drive they can count on. Every drive is assembled in America from quality components, and is encased in a sturdy chassis that’s resistant to water, dust and shocks to help protect the drive and its contents

from the elements.

MICROSOFT CERTIFICATIONProblem: Solutions that haven’t been certified by Microsoft can expose you to conflicts, crashes or worse, and are explicitly not supported by Microsoft.

Solution: IronKey Workspace W500 and W300 drives are Microsoft-certified Windows To Go solutions that deliver a true Windows 8 desktop protected by a trusted IronKey USB flash drive. And they’re the only solutions built around Imation’s portable desktop expertise

and the proven dependability of IronKey drives.

HIGH PERFORMANCEProblem: Many mobile desktops are slow and hard to use.

Solution: IronKey Workspace W500 and W300 drives are built for speed, delivering read/write performance exceeding the minimum requirements for Windows To Go devices. Users will get sequential read performance of up to 400 MB/second and sequential write speeds of up to 316 MB/second. Employees and students get a fast, full Windows desktop with full use of the host system’s hardware and resources such as printers and

network connections.

IMMEDIATE PRODUCTIVITY Problem: Mobile workers often struggle to access applications or IT assets when working in the field or at home.

Solution: The Windows To Go environment’s minimal, intuitive interface gets employees working in no time. In addition, IronKey Workspace W500 and W300 drives are compatible with virtually every system3, so users don’t have to waste valuable work time hunting down the right host PC.
