solaris10

BACKGROUND: We are running Unidata 7.2-5 on Solaris 10 for our data warehouse. There is no database encryption option that works well with our applications. We were looking at ZFS, but it seems that ZFS will only be available under OpenSolaris.

Any other suggestions for some type of EFS under Solaris 10?
