Perhaps, though I may not have an option to buy new drives either; plus some of our databases are on virtual machines.

Thanks

Would using self-encrypting hard drives be an alternative? That would make me much more comfortable than a software-based solution. I've haven't seen much overhead on the systems where self-encrypting drives are used (though those have mostly been OLTP systems not DW systems so physical I/O isn't as significant a bottleneck).

Any experience with Oracle DBMS (11g or 12c) using Bitlocker-protected volumes (on Windows 2012 or 2012 R2)? Or alternatively encrypting data files using Windows Encrypting File System? I don't think I can afford Advanced Security so TDE is I think not an option...

Thanks!
