Question about Sophos SafeGuard for Mac OS

This may be a silly question, but is there a centralized management option for SafeGuard for Mac? I assume SafeGuard Enterprise does not manage Macs. Thanks.

Currently SafeGuard for Mac can be managed via cmdln and management can be automated via tools like Apple Remote Desktop or the Jamf Casper Suite (there is a specifiec SafeGuard management module in Casper).

More information can be found here: http://jamfsoftware.com/solutions/full-disk-encryption

It's also planned to integrate SafeGuard for Mac Management into SafeGuard Enterprise

Hello my config is :
Model Identifier: MacBookPro6,2
Processor Name: Intel Core i7
Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
Memory: 8 GB
Disk : APPLE SSD TS256B
Can I use your product with a SSD without performance hit ?
Please find enclosed the documentation about the issue using a SD with full disk encryption (e.g. block rewrite penalty )

"However, it’’’’s clear that the encrypted SSD is much slower than in its unencrypted form (by as much as two thirds, going by the overall Xbench score). By analogy, encumbering the SSD with FDE is like harnessing a champion racehorse to a plow. However, if you are interested in FDE, security is probably more important to you than raw speed anyway." http://anthonyvance.com/blog/security/ssd_encryption/
There is no information in your forum or on the web site if I'll have same issue with Sophos SafeGuard for Mac OS on a macBook Pro with a SSD drive.
Tons of infoSec Specialist are looking for a solution =)
