Imation has federal customers for its FIPS 140-2 Level 3 storage devices and has also sold a previous Windows 7 version of the workspace product to federal customers, Nahlinder said, although he declined to name them. The gadget even works with some Macs (a mode Microsoft doesn't officially support but Imation does) and some tablets. The computer is used only for CPU, display, keyboard, and mouse.
Because the computing environment is self-contained, a computer booted in this mode accesses only the software environment contained on the USB, not the hard drive of the computer. When plugged into a PC (meeting at least the minimum hardware requirements for Windows 7), the device acts as a bootable drive, making it possible to boot a clean, trusted, and centrally managed computing environment onto a home computer or other non-government computer without worrying whether that computer might be infected with malware or otherwise compromised.
