In fairness, the DS6000 is physically relatively small, although I wouldn't want to carry one by myself on my bicycle. The spindles (individual drives) are even smaller, but you'd need a number of them to have a RAID set and the complete data. Tough but not impossible.
I think the IT marketplace is in for a shock when people figure out that losing the keys means losing the data. It isn't like a bank vault where you can hire a locksmith to drill some holes over several days. It's so critical to store and manage the encryption keys in a safe, secure, recoverable repository. - - - - - Timothy Sipples IBM Consulting Enterprise Software Architect Specializing in Software Architectures Related to System z Based in Tokyo, Serving IBM Japan and IBM Asia-Pacific E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
