asked on Exchange 2013 Encrypt Databases and Logs
We are going to be upgrading to Exchange 2013 SP1 and our security team has asked us to look at encrypting the Exchange Databases and its logs. I found an article saying its possible but does not go into how its done. Has anyone done this? What are the pros and cons? Thanks!

Bitlocking the server would normally suffice. Does the server have a tpm chip? Please find out.

Thank you both for the answers! It has given me a lot ot think about. To answer your question, no they do not have a TPM chip in them. We also do not want a huge impact to performace. So I think this will be put on the back burner. Thank you both again for the quick responses.
The impact to performance is not huge. Please do performance tests yourself since it depends on how we use the file system.
Also please note that many server mainboards have a so called tpm header that can be armed with a tpm anytime. Its costs depend on the brand, it might be up to 80 USD.
