As for the mentioned issue of encrypting the bus data, since you've got the VLAN it is feasible, but if you've got an attacker inside the switches of your datacenter, then you obviously have more important problems. Also, there are a number of applications where the "switch" is actually an isolated back-plane of sorts built into the device housing (think blade server), so it is completely cut off from what you think of as normal network traffic.
Okay, so this isn't something that would be offered as a network service, such as iSCSI or NFS. Thanks for the detailed explanation.
