Opensolaris and zfs
Actually an even better option is Opensolaris with the zfs filesystem. This comes with encryption built in along with data integrity checking with every single read and write and automatic repair from multiple parallel data pools if there is a problem. All the user notices is that it keeps working. Isn't that what we should be using in the NHS? But I think the Windows platform was chosen because Mr Blair thought that Mr Gates was the Ultimate in the technology stakes and the NHS now operates in a parallel Universe where Open source software doesn't exist.
Don't forget the current policy has made several organisations very wealthy.
