Bull touts bootable USB drive

**Glaswegian** · 04-21-2008, 12:14 PM

Bull has a gadget for businesses worried about the security of data stored on laptops, namely a bootable, portable password-protected hard disk drive with an embedded cryptographic processor that protects data if the device is lost or stolen.

Globull (pronounced globule) is a bright red package about the size and weight of an iPod Classic. It has a colour display, houses a 60GB hard disk drive and has a USB 2.0 cable that wraps around the device for storage.

Plug it into any PC that can boot from an external USB 2.0 drive, switch on the computer, enter your password on Globull's tiny touch-sensitive pad beneath its display, and you have access to your regular working environment, applications and data. Switch off the computer again and you can take your data away without leaving a trace, according to Bull's marketing director, Bruno Pinna.
