Lanner today introduced the N2S-MBF301, a smart NIC powered by NVIDIA BlueField-3 B3220 DPU and Mellanox ConnectX-7 chipset.
Lanner’s smart NIC modules such as the just launched N2S-MBF301, are designed to accelerate network workloads via their built-in DPUs and accelerators, hardware security and Programmable FPGA, providing hardware offloads for software-defined networking, security and management workloads so that network performance can be optimized, which in term enables service providers to efficiently build and operate virtualized, containerized and bare-metal infrastructures at a massive scale.
More specifically, DPUs take over network processing tasks from the host CPUs, so that the CPUs are free to perform other tasks, thus improving overall system performance. DPUs also provide hardware-based isolation between workloads, preventing firmware-level malware or side-channel attacks.
The included programmable FPGA can be customized to accelerate specific network security tasks such as offloading encryption, decryption, compression, decompression and specialized packet inspection.
Outstanding features of the N2S-MBF301 include:
- NVIDIA BlueField DPU
- Lanner N2S Standard
- 2x 200GbE QSFP112 Ports
- 2x Gen5 PCIe*8 Golden Finger
Lanner, one of the leaders in AI-powered network security, aims to provide other smart NIC and NIC accelerators that redefine defense capabilities. These hardware solutions enable critical tasks such as NGINX offloading, SSL, DDoS, DPI handling and scale IPSec for SASE, making available computing performance that facilitates SASE and firewall operations on module.
