SGE5.5 hardware requirements /limitations

I have a customer who is being required to encrypt data because of the type business thay are in. thier current equipment is inadequate and out dated so we are providing them with a solution, including server and workstation upgrades. currently we are looking at a dell poweredge t310 or t410 for the server and optiplex 380 as the work stations running W2K8 on server and W7 on work stations, its unclear as to whether we will be running X86 or X64 flavors of the OS's due to software requirements that they have in place and need to remain in place. the only information i can find so far says SGE5.5 wont work with SCSI hardrives, which is not a problem with any of the equipment we are looking at. are there any other restrictions we need to consider on our builds such as raid array or processor and ram types/speeds. also our requirements are to totally encrypt each work station drive, on the server we need to encrypt at the very least the shared folders/drive/partition and allow seamless access to the users. currently they are in a workgroup but we will be creating a AD environment with the new equipment installation. any help would be greatly appreciated as we are under the gun and on the clock to meet deadline requirements for implementation.

thank you,

  • thank you thats just what i was looking for, however since the safeguard lan resides on the local PC and not the server would several people be able to access the shares, decrypt and make changes then encrypt and save back to the server? also there are personal/private folders on the server , I am assuming that the security/access settings (acl/group policy) on the server would control who could access those files and the individual encryption key would  allow the user to encrypt /decrypt as needed. what would be the process for accessing (encrypt/decrypt) the shares?
