1. A method, comprising:

  • running, at a first datacenter, a first plurality of host programs and a first plurality of encryption units;

    establishing, between the first datacenter and a second datacenter, secure communication connections between each of the first plurality of encryption units and a corresponding one of a second plurality of encryptions units running at the second datacenter;

    monitoring one or more performance metrics of the first plurality of encryption units;

    transferring, by the first datacenter, data from the first plurality of host programs to a second plurality of host programs running at the second datacenter, including by;

    receiving, by the first plurality of host programs, information indicative of the one or more performance metrics of the first plurality of encryption units;

    selecting, by the first plurality of host programs, a subset of the first plurality of encryption units to encrypt data from the first plurality of host programs, wherein the subset of the first plurality of encryption units is selected based on the information indicative of the one or more performance metrics of the first plurality of encryption units;

    sending data from the first plurality of host programs to the subset of the first plurality of encryption units;

    encrypting the data sent to the subset of the first plurality of encryption units to generate encrypted data; and

    sending, via the secure communication connections, the encrypted data from the subset of the first plurality of encryption units to the second plurality of encryption units.
