NVIDIA BlueField-2 P-Series Dual-Port 25GbE PCIe 4.0 DPU SmartNIC

The NVIDIA BlueField-2 P-Series DPU (Data Processing Unit) is a dual-port 25GbE SmartNIC built on PCIe 4.0 architecture, integrating networking, storage, and security offload capabilities directly into the adapter hardware. Deployed across enterprise data centers since Q1 2021, it executes workloads at the network edge, reducing CPU overhead and latency for compute-intensive operations including NVMe-oF, iSER, and in-band network security functions.

The dual-port design supports independent 25 Gigabit Ethernet connections with full line-rate packet processing, leveraging embedded ARM-based processors and dedicated cryptographic engines. Organizations leverage BlueField-2 P-Series to decouple storage and security operations from primary compute resources, enabling improved application performance while maintaining centralized policy enforcement across hybrid cloud and on-premises infrastructure.

Still in active procurement cycles, this adapter addresses the immediate need for DPU-accelerated workloads while organizations prepare for broader BlueField-3 ecosystem integration. The P-Series variant is optimized for performance-critical storage and networking paths in mission-critical enterprise environments.

Ideal for

• NVMe-oF target and initiator offload with line-rate performance and reduced CPU utilization
• In-band TLS/IPsec encryption and decryption for storage and data center traffic
• Distributed firewall and microsegmentation policy enforcement at network ingress/egress
• iSER (iSCSI Extensions for RDMA) acceleration for block storage consolidation
• DDoS mitigation and anomaly detection via hardware-based packet filtering and classification
• Multi-tenant network isolation and traffic steering in virtualized data center environments
