The impact varies with the hardware as well as the amount and type of I/O, therefore VMware cannot quantify it, but overall performance impact is negligible for most workloads. The effectiveness and compatibility of back-end storage features such as deduplication, compression, and replication might also be affected by VM encryption and you should take into consideration storage tradeoffs. In-guest and array-based encryption do not depend on or interfere with VM encryption, but having multiple encryption layers uses additional compute resources, which might impact virtual machine performance.
