small form factor allows customers to install multiple controller cards in a single system to support a larger number of SSDs and high-availability storage
architecture.
BlueField Multicore System-on-chip (SoC)
BlueField SoC is a highly integrated and efficient controller, optimized for NVMe storage systems, Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), Cloud and AI
workloads.
BlueField SoC integrates all the discrete components of a storage system appliance into a single chip (CPU, PCIe switch, and Network controller), making it
the premier SoC solution for building Just-a-Bunch-Of-Flash (JBOF) systems, All-Flash-Array and storage appliances for NVMe over-Fabrics.
With an integrated NVMe-oF offload accelerator, the BlueField SoC gives the BlueField Dual Port 100Gb/s Controller Card a superior performance
advantage over existing JBOF systems, significantly reducing storage transaction latency, while increasing IOPs (I/O operations per second).
BlueField SoC also offers cost-effective and integrative solutions for Machine Learning appliances, enabling efficient data delivery for real-time analytics
and data insights based on superior RDMA and GPUDirect® RDMA technologies. Support for PCIe Gen4.0 helps future-proof the next generation of high-
performance GPU cards.

Heatsink Height 10.1mm
Ethernet Data Rate 1/10/25/40/50/100 Gb/s Ethernet
Network Connector Type Dual-port QSFP28
PCIe Gen 3.0/4.0 through
x16 Edge Connector
a
PCIe Gen 3.0 / 4.0 SERDES @ 8.0GT/s / 16.0GT/s
The BlueField BF1600 Controller Card should be installed only in a JBOF System as it functions as a PCIe root-complex (RC) initiating PCIe bus
operations. Installing it in a regular host system may damage the card.
