That is probably the reason that our auditors decided that we should
implement a encryption package on a different server, in the second
server room, to do the encryption on all UNIX and NT servers(which can
be shifted be a single man). They claim that it is useless to have the
decryption code on the same device as the physical disk that is being
encrypted... until the network link to both the encryption servers are
down... 

My question is this... if hardware encryption becomes available on
3590/2's will the encryption be programmed, and how will the DR site
cope...

I watch the "World's Strongest Man" competition at times. Each of those
guys could likely bench press the z9BC we have with NO problems. One of
them pulled a locomotive across a trestle once. My back was in agony the
entire time, in sympathy!
