NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPU

NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPU

 

 

 

The NVIDIA® BlueField®-3 data processing unit (DPU) is the 3rd-generation data center infrastructure-on-a-chip that enables organizations to build software-defined,hardware-accelerated IT infrastructures from cloud to core data center to edge.

 

With 400Gb/s Ethernet or NDR 400Gb/s InfiniBand network connectivity, BlueField-3 DPU offloads, accelerates, and isolates software-defined networking, storage, security, and management functions in ways that profoundly improve data center performance,
efficiency, and security.

 

Providing powerful computing, and a broad range of programmable acceleration engines in the I/O path, BlueField-3 is perfectly positioned to address the infrastructure needs of the most demanding applications, while delivering full software backward compatibility
through the NVIDIA DOCA™ software framework.

BlueField-3 DPUs transform traditional computing environments into secure and
accelerated virtual private clouds, allowing organizations to run application workloads in secure, multi-tenant environments. Decoupling data center infrastructure from business applications, BlueField-3 enhances data center security, streamlines operations and
reduces total cost of ownership. Featuring NVIDIA’s in-network computing technology, BlueField-3 enables the next generation of supercomputing platforms, delivering optimal bare-metal performance and native support for multi-node tenant isolation.

Explore the Benefits of BlueField

Peak AI Workload Efficiency

BlueField accelerates AI performance with robust RoCE networking, GPUDirect® RDMA and RoCE, direct data placement, and programmable congestion control, creating an exceptionally fast and efficient network infrastructure for AI.

 

Security From the Perimeter to the Server

BlueField enables a zero-trust, security-everywhere architecture where security goes beyond the data center perimeter to the edge of every server.

 

Data Storage for Expanding Workloads

With NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF), GPUDirect Storage, encryption, elastic storage, data integrity, decompression, and deduplication, BlueField provides high-performance storage access with latencies for remote storage that rival direct-attached storage.

 

High-Performance Cloud Networking

BlueField is a powerful cloud infrastructure processor, delivering up to 400Gb/s of Ethernet and InfiniBand connectivity for both traditional applications and modern workloads, while freeing host CPU cores to run applications instead of infrastructure tasks.
