How much of a performance hit can you expect as a result of encryption

1.	How much of a performance hit can you expect as a result of encryption?
Answer» Software encryption is a CPU-intensive activity that can slow down your backup or SUPPLEMENTAL copy by 40 per CENT to 50 PERCENT. This projected performance hit does not apply to deduplicated data because the deduplication process removes all duplicate data and only encrypts data BLOCKS that are unique throughout the whole deduplication database. As a result, the performance impact of deduplicated data will be minimal.
