NVIDIA MBF2M516C-CECOT BLUEFIELD-2 DPU, DUAL-PORT 100GBE, PCIE 4.0 X16, 16GB DDR4, 128GB EMMC

THE NVIDIA BLUEFIELD-2 E-SERIES MBF2M516C-CECOT IS A HIGH-PERFORMANCE DATA PROCESSING UNIT (DPU) DESIGNED FOR DATA CENTER INFRASTRUCTURE, CLOUD COMPUTING, AND AI WORKLOADS. THIS DUAL-PORT 100GBE NETWORK ADAPTER FEATURES A PCIE 4.0 X16 INTERFACE AND UTILIZES THE BLUEFIELD-2 SYSTEM-ON-A-CHIP (SOC), WHICH INTEGRATES EIGHT 64-BIT ARMV8 A72 CORES OPERATING AT A BASE FREQUENCY OF 430MHZ AND A BOOST FREQUENCY OF 2000MHZ. THE BOARD IS EQUIPPED WITH 16GB OF ON-BOARD DDR4 MEMORY AT 3200MT/S WITH ECC ERROR PROTECTION AND 128GB OF EMMC STORAGE. CONNECTIVITY IS PROVIDED THROUGH TWO QSFP56 PORTS SUPPORTING DATA RATES OF 1, 10, 25, 40, 50, AND 100 GB/S ETHERNET, AS WELL AS INFINIBAND HDR100, EDR, FDE, QDR, DDR, AND SDR PROTOCOLS. THE HARDWARE FOLLOWS A FULL-HEIGHT HALF-LENGTH (FHHL) FORM FACTOR WITH DIMENSIONS OF 4.53 INCHES BY 6.6 INCHES. SECURITY FEATURES ARE PROMINENTLY INTEGRATED, INCLUDING SECURE BOOT AND CRYPTOGRAPHIC ACCELERATION (CRYPTO ENABLED) WITH A HARDWARE ROOT-OF-TRUST. IT ALSO INCLUDES AN INTEGRATED BASEBOARD MANAGEMENT CONTROLLER (BMC) AND A DEDICATED 1GBE OUT-OF-BAND MANAGEMENT PORT. DESIGNED TO OFFLOAD, ACCELERATE, AND ISOLATE NETWORKING, STORAGE, AND SECURITY SERVICES, THE DPU SUPPORTS ADVANCED PROTOCOLS SUCH AS 100GBASE-CR4, 100GBASE-SR4, AND VARIOUS OTHER ETHERNET STANDARDS, ENSURING LOW-LATENCY PERFORMANCE AND HARDWARE-ACCELERATED "ZERO TRUST" SECURITY.
