Super Micro Computer, Inc. (Supermicro), the globally renowned company in enterprise computing, storage, networking solutions and green computing technology, has announced its intent to support the new NVIDIA BlueField-2 DPU (data processing unit).
Support for NVIDIA BlueField-2 DPU
NVIDIA BlueField-2 DPU is sampling now, and Supermicro will conduct an aggressive certification programme for the NVIDIA BlueField-2 DPU, encompassing a broad range of Supermicro’s market-renowned systems, with planned availability in 2021.
These will include 1U, 2U, 4U, 10U rackmount GPU systems, Ultra, BigTwin, 8U SuperBlade, and additional embedded solutions. Supermicro products support the advanced data requirements from the Edge to the Cloud.
Delivering end-to-end cloud solutions
Supermicro is NVIDIA’s close technology collaborator and is ready to deliver end-to-end cloud solutions"
Charles Liang, the President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Supermicro, said “Supermicro is NVIDIA’s close technology collaborator and is ready to deliver end-to-end cloud solutions, and edge using NVIDIA DPUs.”
Charles Liang adds, “Leveraging Supermicro’s well-known rapid time-to-market capabilities, we expect to offer many of the industry’s first systems incorporating the BlueField-2 DPU, to boost performance on all accelerated workloads for customers, in growing dynamic markets.”
Many of Supermicro’s products can take advantage of the latest in DPU acceleration technologies from NVIDIA. Supermicro’s SuperBlade has GPU blade servers built on PCIe Gen4.0, along with a non-blocking 200Gbps HDR InfiniBand switch, which provides the infrastructure needed for DPUs to offload data management tasks from the CPU.
New NVIDIA BlueField-2 DPU
The new NVIDIA BlueField-2 DPU combines a programmable multi-core ARM CPU, state-of-the-art 200G/100G SmartNIC networking, high-performance PCIe interface, and a powerful set of networking, storage, and security accelerators.
The NVIDIA DPU offloads critical tasks and frees up the host CPU to run applications, while enhancing security, efficiency, and manageability for servers running any operating system or hypervisor.
Critical element of a secure accelerated data centre
Manuvir Das, the Head of Enterprise Computing at NVIDIA, said “NVIDIA DPUs are becoming the most critical element of a secure accelerated data centre, a required component for modern times.”
Manuvir Das adds, “By incorporating the BlueField-2 DPU into their future lineup, Supermicro is giving their customers that extra edge required in today’s race to build the modern data centre.”
