Transforming the Data Center with NVIDIA DPU's

The NVIDIA® BlueField® data processing unit (DPU) is an unprecedented advancement for modern data centers. By offloading, accelerating, and isolating diverse advanced networking, storage, and security services, BlueField DPUs provide a secure and accelerated infrastructure for all workloads. BlueField DPUs combine high-performance computing, full infrastructure-on-a-chip programmability and high-performance networking to handle the most demanding workloads.

THE ADVANTAGES OF BLUEFIELD

Security
around the server

The DPU architecture shields the data center security policies from the host CPU while establishing a zero-trust data center domain in the periphery of each server.

Data storage for
expanding workloads

With NVMe over Fabric (NVMe-oF) Storage Direct, encryption, elastic storage, data integrity, compression, and deduplication, the NVIDIA BlueField-2 DPU provides a high-performance storage network with remote storage latencies that rival direct-attached storage.

High-performance computing,
efficient networks

The BlueField-2 DPU is a high-performance accelerator for data center services. With up to 200 gigabits per second (Gb/s) Ethernet and InfiniBand, BlueField-2 provides the transfer performance for both traditional applications and advanced GPU-accelerated AI while offloading the host's processor cores.

Software defined infrastructure

The NVIDIA DOCA Software Development Kit (SDK) enables developers to easily create high-performance, software-defined, cloud-native, DPU-accelerated services using industry-standard APIs.
