Encryption
DPU addresses the concerns of modern data centers by combining hardware encryption
accelerators with embedded software and fully integrated advanced network capabilities,
making it an ideal platform for developing proprietary security applications. It enables a
distributed security architecture by isolating and protecting each individual workload and
providing flexible control and visibility at the server and workload level, controlling risk at
the server access layer. builds security into the DNA of the data center and enables
prevention, detection, and response to potential threats in real-time. The DPU can deliver
powerful functionality, including encryption of data-in-motion, bare-metal provisioning, a
stateful L4 firewall, and more.
Networking Ports Interface
The network ports of the DPU are compliant with the InfiniBand and the IEEE 802.3
Ethernet standards listed in Features and Benefits. Traffic is transmitted through the
cards' QSFP56 connectors. By default, the port cages of this group of OPNs are set to
operate in QSFP28 mode (default card firmware setting). BlueField-2 DPUs support
copper/optic and SR4 modules only.
Networking Ports LEDs Interface
There is one bicolor (Yellow and Green) I/O LED per port to indicate speed and link status.
State Bi-Color LED (Yellow/Green)
