About the Mellanox 900-9D3B6-00SV-AA0 BlueField-3 B3220 DPU
Standard PCIe form factor with OCP 3.0 and conventional mounting options, the Mellanox 900-9D3B6-00SV-AA0 BlueField-3 B3220 DPU delivers enterprise-grade data processing acceleration without requiring specialized chassis modifications. This Data Processing Unit combines a ConnectX-7 network controller ASIC with 16 Arm Cortex-A78AE cores, enabling offload of compute-intensive tasks directly at the network edge while maintaining full software compatibility across Ubuntu, CentOS/RHEL, and custom BlueField OS deployments.
Built for network engineers and infrastructure architects managing hyperscale deployments, the B3220 provides dual QSFP112 ports supporting up to 400GbE or NDR InfiniBand per port with aggregate bandwidth reaching 400 Gb/s. Hardware offload engines accelerate Crypto (AES-256, SHA-3), IPsec, TLS 1.3, REGEX processing, and compression workloads, while SR-IOV, VirtIO, and Live Migration virtualization support ensure seamless integration into existing environments. PCIe Gen 5.0 x16 host interface connectivity and onboard eMMC plus SPI flash storage enable flexible deployment scenarios. Supported protocols include Ethernet, InfiniBand, RoCEv2, NVMe-oF, VXLAN, and GENEVE, backed by NVIDIA DOCA SDK programmability for custom application development. Operating range of 0°C to 55°C and out-of-band management via dedicated Arm-hosted BMC-equivalent stack provide production-ready reliability.
Deployment Scenarios
- Cryptographic acceleration and IPsec/TLS 1.3 offload for secure multi-tenant cloud infrastructure
- NVMe-oF storage networking with transparent compression and REGEX filtering
- InfiniBand and RoCEv2 fabric acceleration for HPC and AI workload isolation
- VXLAN and GENEVE network virtualization in containerized and Kubernetes environments
- Custom DPU applications via NVIDIA DOCA SDK on standard PCIe infrastructure
