Mellanox BlueField-2 SmartNIC For Ethernet
High Performance Smart Network Controller Card
Mellanox BlueField-2 SmartNIC delivers advanced functionality, unmatched performance and agility for today's most demanding workloads.
Combining the industry leading ConnectX-6 Dx network adapter with an array of Arm® cores, BlueField-2 delivers a perfect blend of hardware and software accelerations.
BlueField-2 brings agile and high performance solutions for security, machine learning, cloud, edge computing and storage applications while reducing total cost of ownership.
BlueField-2 SmartNIC features the second generation BlueField-2 I/O Processing Unit (IPU) - an innovative and high-performance programmable networking engine. The IPU integrates an array of eight powerful 64-bit Armv8 A72 cores interconnected by a coherent mesh with a DDR4 memory controller and a dual-port Ethernet network controller.
BlueField-2 SmartNIC supports dual QSFP56 ports at link speeds of 10/25/40/50/100 GbE or a single port of 200GbE, a 1GbE out-of-band management port for the Arm subsystem, and includes an integrated 16-lane PCIe Gen 3.0/4.0 switch.
BlueField-2 SmartNIC complete portfolio includes a variety of form factors including HHHL (half height, half length), FHHL (full height, half length), and Open Compute Project Spec 3.0 (OCP 3.0 Small Form Factor).
At the heart of BlueField-2 SmartNIC is the industry-leading ConnectX-6 Dx network adapter with unprecedented built-in hardware functionality, performance and resiliency. BlueField-2 hardware accelerations include advanced RDMA/RoCE capabilities as well as innovative cryptography, storage and networking accelerations. Relying on these built-in offloads, the BlueField-2 powerful array of Arm cores can be programmed for sophisticated custom accelerations and control path manipulations. BlueField-2 also benefits from the rich Arm ecosystem to deliver complete solutions to cloud operators and service providers.
Turning Zero Trust To Hero Trust
BlueField-2 SmartNIC delivers isolation, security and cryptography accelerations, enabling data center security at the endpoint with best-in-class performance, turning zero-trust to hero-trust.
Secure Hardware - BlueField-2 SmartNIC hardware leverages Root-of-Trust secured boot and Arm TrustZone technology to ensure integrity of the firmware and hardware. Using hardware keys and a trusted execution environment, BlueField-2 can serve as the keys' safe box, providing anticloning and zero-trust access solutions.
Isolation - BlueField-2 SmartNIC functions as a "computer-in-frontof-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.
Cryptography Accelerations - From IPsec and TLS data-in-motion inline encryption to AES-XTS block-level data-at-rest encryption and public key acceleration, BlueField-2 SmartNIC hardware-based accelerations offload the crypto operations and free up the CPU, reducing latency and enabling scalable crypto solutions. BlueField-2 "host-unaware" solutions may transmit and receive data, while BlueField-2 acts as a bump-in-the-wire for crypto.
