While this may be an old news for you, I still see cases where it is overlooked. Intel’s processors supporting AES-NI standard can boost your encrypted data processes if the software you use utilizes the 7 processor encryption related built-in instruction set. It also includes DRNG (Dynamic Random Number Generator). So IT Managers want to make sure any server they have doing lots of encryption, has those new processors, while developers should make sure they use the AES-NI libraries for the encryption related code they create.
