Feature
Securing
BlueField-3 DPU accelerates connection tracking with its ASAP2 technology to enable
Workloads
stateful filtering on a per-connection basis. Moreover, BlueField-3 includes a Titan IC
regular expression (RXP) acceleration engine supported by IDS/IPS tools to detect host
introspection and Application Recognition (AR) in real-time.
Security
A consolidated compute and network solution based on DPU achieves significant
Accelerators
advantages over a centralized security server solution. Standard encryption protocols and
security applications can leverage NVIDIA BlueField-3 compute capabilities and network
offloads for security application solutions such as Layer4 Statefull Firewall.
Virtualized Cloud By leveraging BlueField-3 DPU virtualization offloads, data center administrators can
benefit from better server utilization, allowing more virtual machines and more tenants
on the same hardware, while reducing the TCO and power consumption
Out-of-Band
The NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPU incorporates a 1GbE RJ45 out-of-band port that allows the
Management
network operator to establish trust boundaries in accessing the management function to
apply it to network resources. It can also be used to ensure management connectivity
(including the ability to determine the status of any network component) independent of
the status of other in-band network components.
BMC
Some BlueField-3 DPUs incorporate local NIC BMC (Baseboard Management Controller)
hardware on the board. The BMC SoC (system on a chip) can utilize either shared or
dedicated NICs for remote access. The BMC node enables remote power cycling, board
environment monitoring, BlueField-3 chip temperature monitoring, board power and
consumption monitoring, and individual interface resets. The BMC also supports the ability
to push a bootstream to BlueField-3.
Having a trusted on-board BMC that is fully isolated for the host server ensures highest
security for the DPU boards.
