We have a SQL 2005 Express installation that we are upgrading to SQL 2008. We have a requirement to keep data at rest encrypted at all times and it seems that SQL 2008 transparent encryption will do that for us. Since it requires the extra expense of the Enterprise edition and TDE is the only feature I am looking for.

Is TDE relatively easy to implement and manage? Does it work well in clustered environments if we go that route later?

Another option is a third-party transparent encryption such as PGP.

Thank you
