The BlueField-3 DPU is a cloud infrastructure processor that empowers organizations to build software-defined, hardware-accelerated data centers from the cloud to the edge.
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. 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.
The BlueField-3 DPU, combined with the NVIDIA DOCA Platform Framework (DPF), provides a high-performance, programmable data processing unit that offloads networking, storage, and security tasks from the CPU. Using DPF, BlueField‑3 DPUs can be orchestrated and managed in cloud-native environments, enabling scalable, secure, and automated deployment of services on DPUs.
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.
