Today I want to share some example how upgrading your hardware can help to reduce problems.

This is how the load was reduced to "nothing" from a permanent load of 4-5 on an old Atom Box (1.8GHz Dualcore). The system is doing 30-40 IPsec Tunnels and OpenVPN connected to a 1Gb/s fibre connection.
It was known that the hardware was no longer capable of handling the traffic and got replaced now. Same configuration was applied and then modified for AES-NI.
The new box is built with a Xeon 3GHz Quadcore.
