MBF2M922A-AEEAB Includes Only:
- 1 x BlueField-2 DPU for OCP 3.0
- 1 x USB to UART cable
- 1 x Pull tab bracket - shipped assembled on the card
Features:
- Uses PCIe Gen 4.0 (16GT/s) through an x16 edge connector. Gen 1.1 and 2.0 compatible.
- Up to 25Gb Gigabit Ethernet
- The adapter complies with the IEEE 802.3 standards
- DDR4 SDRAM: 16GB at3200MT/s
- The NVIDIA BlueField-2 SoC integrates eight 64-bit Armv8 A72 cores interconnected by a coherent mesh network, one DRAM controller, an RDMA intelligent network adapter supporting up to 25Gb/s, an embedded PCIe switch with endpoint and root complex functionality, and up to 16 lanes of PCIe Gen 3.0.
- BlueField-2 SmartNIC functions as a"computer-in-front-of-a-computer," unlocking unlimited opportunities for custom security applications on its Arm processors, fully isolated from the host's CPU. In the event of a compromised host, BlueField-2 may detect/block malicious activities in real-time and at wire speed to prevent the attack from spreading further.
The NVIDIA® BlueField-2® data processing unit (DPU) is a data center infrastructure on a chip optimized for traditional enterprise, high-performance computing (HPC), and modern cloud workloads, delivering a broad set of accelerated software-definednet working, storage, security, and management services. BlueField-2 DPU enables organizations to transform their IT infrastructures into state-of-the-art data centers that are accelerated, fully programmable and armed with "zero trust" security to prevent data breaches and cyber-attacks.
By combining the industry-leading NVIDIA ConnectX-6® Dx network adapter with an array of Arm® cores, BlueField-2 offers purpose-built, hardware-acceleration engines with full software programmability. Sitting at the edge of every server, BlueField-2 is optimized to handle critical infrastructure tasks quickly, increasing data center efficiency. BlueField-2 empowers agile and high-performance solutions for cloud networking, storage, cybersecurity, data analytics, HPC, and artificial intelligence (AI), from edge to core data centers and clouds, all while reducing the total cost of ownership.
