Are you sure ?

What is the point of going to the effort of encrypting data at rest if
you are then going to let it fly around unencrypted within a machine
room's network ?

Why do you trust the machine room network more than the rest of the
organisation's network ?

IOW, is trusting the machine room's network more than the rest of the
network giving people a sense of false security ? One single compromise
of a machine on that network and _everything_ on that network is
potentially compromised.
