Network security encompasses a wide array of measures designed to protect the integrity and confidentiality of data within a network. Traditionally, this has been achieved through a combination of firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/IPS), antivirus software, and other perimeter-based defenses. While these tools have been effective to some extent, they often struggle to keep pace with the sophistication of modern cyber threats.

Introducing NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPU

The NVIDIA® BlueField®-3 Data Processing Unit (DPU) represents a significant leap forward in network security applications. Equipped with 400Gb/s Ethernet network connectivity, the BlueField-3 DPU plays a pivotal role in offloading, accelerating, and isolating essential functions such as software-defined networking and advanced network security.

With its robust computing power and a diverse array of programmable acceleration engines in the I/O path, BlueField-3 is tailor-made to address the infrastructure requirements of even the most demanding network security applications. Moreover, it ensures full software backward compatibility through the NVIDIA DOCA™ software framework, guaranteeing seamless integration with existing systems.

Secure Multi-tenant Cloud Infrastructure

BlueField-3 DPUs bring about a revolution in conventional network computing by converting them into high-speed virtual private clouds. This empowers organizations to house application workloads in secure, multi-tenant environments while upholding rigorous security protocols. Through the separation of edge cloud infrastructure from applications, BlueField-3 fortifies security measures, optimizes operations, and minimizes total cost of ownership.

Applications

Powered by NVIDIA's cutting-edge in-network computing technology, BlueField-3 paves the way for the next generation of supercomputing platforms. It delivers optimal bare-metal performance and provides native support for multi-node tenant isolation, ensuring unparalleled security and performance for critical network security applications, such as NGFW, IPS/IDS, DDoS prevention RAN virtualization and VNF accelerations.
