<div>I'm planning to provide secure download (SSL) with nginx. </div><div><br></div><div>But I don't know how much the cpu usage the ssl protocol will use, </div>
<div>I already have lots of 2X Xeon(R) CPU E5-2609 servers, with tons of 7200RPM 3TB Sata in Raid6 to deliver the files, </div><div>.</div><div>Each server should handle 250 downloads at the same time (4 servers with 1 10Gbit shared Port, with limit rate to 800K/S),</div>
<div><br></div><div>My question is very simple: </div><div>Do i need another server(xeon 2609) for each existing server, to work as a frontend ssl server? </div><div>Or if the ssl protocol will not consume so much cpu power? </div>
