Mellanox, MBF1L516A-ESNAT, BlueField SamrtNIC DPU VPI EDR IB (100Gb/s) and 100GbE, Dual Port QSFP28, PCIe Gen4.0 x16, BlueField G-Series 16 Cores, Crypto Disabled, 16GB Onboard DDR, FHHL, Single Slot, Tall Bracket
Features:
- Uses PCIe Gen 3.0 (8GT/s) and Gen 4.0 (16GT/s) through an x8 edge connector. Gen 1.1 and 2.0 compatible.
- Mellanox SmartNIC provides advanced NVGRE and VXLAN hardware offloading engines that encapsulate and de-capsulate the overlay protocol.
- Mellanox SmartNIC, utilizing IBTA RDMA (Remote Data Memory Access) and RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet) technology, delivers low-latency and high-performance over Ethernet networks. Leveraging data center bridging (DCB) capabilities as well as advanced congestion control hardware mechanisms, RoCE provides efficient low-latency RDMA services over Layer 2 and Layer 3 networks.
- PeerDirect™ communication provides high-efficiency RDMA access by eliminating unnecessary internal data copies between components on the PCIe bus (for example, from GPU to CPU), and therefore significantly reduces application run time. Mellanox SmartNIC advanced acceleration technology enables higher cluster efficiency and scalability to tens of thousands of nodes.
- Support for port-based Quality of Service enabling various application requirements for latency and SLA.
- A consolidated compute and storage network achieves significant cost-performance advantages over multi-fabric networks. Standard block and file access protocols can leverage RDMA for high-performance storage access.
- Mellanox BlueField SmartNIC may operate as a co-processor offloading specific storage tasks from the host, isolating part of the storage media from the host, or enabling abstraction of software-defined storage logic using the BlueField Arm cores.
- Mellanox SmartNIC SR-IOV technology provides dedicated adapter resources and guaranteed isolation and protection for virtual machines (VM) within the server.
- Uses high-speed DMA transfers to copy data between P2P devices resulting in more efficient system applications
The Mellanox BlueField SmartNIC is a two-port network adapter featuring the BlueField system-on-chip (SoC), which integrates the ConnectX®-5 network controller with an Arm multicore processor array, to deliver an innovative and high-performance programmable networking engine. Providing unmatched scalability and efficiency, Mellanox BlueField SmartNIC is the ideal adapter to accelerate the most demanding workloads in the data center, cloud, service provider, and storage environments.
Powerful Smart Network AdapterThe Mellanox BlueField SmartNICs comprise a BlueField SoC with a DDR4 DRAM memory subsystem and Ethernet QSFP28 port. This powerful network adapter offers the flexibility to fully, or partially, implement and offload the data and control planes to accelerate a range of applications. The Mellanox BlueField adapter enables more efficient use of computing resources, now dedicated to run applications rather than focus on networking or security processing, therefore supporting the growing demand for bandwidth per host. This software-defined adapter ensures ultimate flexibility by adapting to future protocols and features through a simple software update.
