About the NVIDIA BlueField-3 SuperNIC P-Series (900-9D3B6-00CV-AAB)
The NVIDIA BlueField-3 SuperNIC P-Series (900-9D3B6-00CV-AAB) delivers dual-port 200GbE connectivity through 2 x QSFP112 interfaces, consolidating 400Gb/s aggregate network bandwidth into a single PCIe Gen 5.0 x16 adapter. This high-density architecture supports multiple Ethernet standards from 10GbE to 200GbE per port, enabling network engineers and infrastructure architects to future-proof their data center deployments without sacrificing form factor compatibility. The standard low-profile PCIe bracket design ensures seamless integration into existing server environments while maximizing port density per slot.
Built on NVIDIA's BlueField-3 SoC, this SuperNIC combines a 16-core Arm Cortex-A78AE processor with 32 GB of DDR5 ECC memory and on-card eMMC flash storage, creating an independent compute platform for offloaded networking tasks. Hardware acceleration engines handle IPsec, TLS 1.3, RoCE v2, OVS acceleration, VXLAN/NVGRE encapsulation, and RegEx workloads at line rate, reducing CPU burden on host systems. The NVIDIA DOCA SDK software framework supports Linux (Ubuntu, RHEL, SLES), VMware ESXi, and bare-metal DOCA runtime environments, giving IT teams flexibility in deployment models. For network architects requiring advanced crypto and RDMA capabilities, the integrated IPsec and TLS inline encryption with RoCE v2 RDMA support delivers enterprise-grade security without performance trade-offs. Power consumption of up to 75 W slot-powered or up to 150 W with auxiliary connector accommodates various rack power budgets.
