Hammer locks deal with Origin

Data Locker uses a PIN system in order to access content

Storage distributor Hammer has sealed an exclusive deal with Origin Storage to distribute its portable disk drive, Data Locker.

In a pan-European agreement, Hammer has secured exclusivity for the UK and Nordics.

Data Locker uses a PIN system, requiring the end user to enter its six to eighteen-digit password, in order to access content.

Gerard Marlow, disk business development manager at Hammer, said: “This product is the ideal amalgamation of storage and security. It fits extremely well into Hammer’s portfolio, and resellers will find it will suit a wide range of their customers’ portable hard drive needs.

“In today’s society, security breaches and losses of data are unfortunately common occurrences. Data Locker’s unique security features, combined with impressive speeds and capacities, create the ideal environment for the transportation of sensitive data and files.”

Andy Cordial, managing director of Origin Storage, said: “Hammer has an excellent record in supporting storage manufacturers in the UK and throughout Europe, and was our first choice of distributor for Data Locker.

“Due to the positioning of Data Locker as a high-end AES hardware encrypted portable storage device, and Hammer’s position as a high-end supplier of storage solutions, it became obvious that Hammer was the number-one choice.”

Data Locker is available in capacities of 160GB, 320GB, 500GB, 750GB & 1TB, and covers two levels of security: Pro AES, for corporate and local government; and Enterprise, for military and transportation of mission critical data.

Cordial said: “I am confident that Hammer will add awareness and value to the Data Locker brand.”
