Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • NetApp Volume Encryption (NVE)
  • NetApp Aggregate Encryption (NAE)

Answer

  • Yes. Hardware platforms with higher core counts perform better with NVE.
    • For example, a NetApp FAS8080 is less affected than a FAS8040 for the same workload and the same number of active encrypted data volumes.
  • In certain situations, on the higher end, the performance impact of NVE is negligible or unobservable.
