About the NVIDIA BlueField-3 P-Series 400GbE DPU PCIe Gen5 Dual-Port QSFP112

The NVIDIA BlueField-3 P-Series is a data processing unit (DPU) that offloads storage, networking, and security workloads from host CPUs in virtualized and containerized environments. This dual-port 400GbE model features PCIe Gen5 connectivity and integrates eight Arm cores, enabling infrastructure disaggregation at hyperscale. The BlueField-3 P-Series executes network functions, encryption, compression, and storage protocols in dedicated hardware, freeing CPU cycles for application workloads.

Designed for enterprise data centers, telecom infrastructure, and cloud service providers, this DPU supports advanced networking protocols including RoCE v2, VXLAN, and IPsec. The dual QSFP112 ports deliver 800Gbps aggregate throughput, making it suitable for dense, high-bandwidth environments requiring deterministic performance and reduced latency.

The BlueField-3 P-Series integrates NVIDIA ConnectX-7 technology alongside dedicated security and storage engines, enabling unified data plane acceleration. Firmware and DPDK support ensure compatibility with standard Linux ecosystems and enterprise orchestration platforms.

Ideal for

  • Cloud service provider infrastructure disaggregation and CPU resource optimization
  • Telecom network function virtualization (NFV) and edge computing deployments
  • Enterprise data center storage offload and NVMe-over-Fabrics (NVMeoF) acceleration
  • Hyperscaler security policy enforcement and inline encryption/decryption
  • High-frequency data center networks requiring deterministic low-latency switching
  • Containerized workload environments with persistent network and storage acceleration
