I wouldn't encrypt data within a datacenter. The only data that gets encrypted around here is data that goes out the door. Internal tapes are not encrypted. All tapes that go off site are encrypted and all tranmissions are encrypted. Some of our E-Mails are even required to be encrypted. But within the confines of the controlled environment, encryption is not required. I would expect a performance penalty if everything within the datacenter were encypted. Not a blue screen of death, but more probably management death threats. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
