Description
Designed for datacenters specializing in AI and other demanding workloads, the NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPU, or Data Processing Unit, is designed to enhance performance, efficiency, and security while freeing CPU resources. It does this by offloading, accelerating, and isolating software defined networking, security, and management functions with 16 P-Series ARM-Cores and 32GB of onboard DDR5 ECC memory. Supporting both Ethernet and InfiniBand protocols, each of the two QSFP112 ports can transfer data at up to 200 Gb/s. Hardware-accelerated encryption with an integrated BMC provides secure end-to-end connections. The BlueField-3 DPU installs into a single PCIe 5.0 x16 slot. Please note that supplemental power is required through an external 8-pin ATX connector.Accelerate Software-Defined Networking NVIDIA ASAP2 (Accelerated Switching and Packet Processing) technology accelerates software-defined networking, delivering line-rate performance with no CPU penalty.Edge to Core Security Hardware engines offload and accelerate security with in-line hardware encryption/decryption of TLS, IPsec, and MACsec.
