[FDE] Momentus Drives and Linux/OS X

[nikess at aol.com]

Chris,



Interested understanding your cost/benefit analysis of using the Seagate product, specifically:




Will your deployment be on new machines or swapping out the existing drives and data?

Do you see a Total Cost of Ownership savings vs. a software solution?


Trying to get your perspective on the various options available to solve your problem. Without having done a lot of research it seems to me the challenge would be the upfront cost of going with the Seagate drives (purchase, deployment, data migration, mgmt software) vs. the upfront and ongoing operational cost of a software FDE product. Has Vista's BitLocker been one of your options as well?

Thanks!

I am currently looking at options for implementing FDE on my organization’s laptops. I am particularly interested in the Seagate Momentus drives but I’m having some difficulty finding the information that I am looking for.

90% of my users are running Windows XP, with the remaining 10% using Red Hat Enterprise Linux and OS X. Are Momentus drives compatible with EXT3 and HFS+ file systems? Is there an enterprise management tool out there for administering these drives that is supported by all three client operating systems?

Regards,

-Chris
