Inspur Unveils Cloud SmartNIC Solution Based on NVIDIA DPU at GTC 2020
Summary
Moreover, fixed-function security appliances lack the flexibility to scale and support cloud-native applications, and thus expose a large attack surface through unprotected east-west communications and virtual machine (VM)-to-VM traffic. The software-defined data center implements networking, storage, and security functions as software running on powerful servers, and is more flexible and scalable than architectures based on fixed appliances. It also achieves application compatibility and resource scalability by pushing data center functions into software running on VMs or containers. Optimized to offload critical networking, storage and security tasks from CPUs, BlueField-2 DPUs enable organizations to transform their IT infrastructure into state-of-the-art data centers that are accelerated, fully programmable and armed with ‘zero-trust’ security features to prevent data breaches and cyberattacks.” said Erik Pounds, head of product marketing, enterprise computing, at NVIDIA. Inspur Electronic Information Industry Co., LTD is a leading provider of data center infrastructure, cloud computing, and AI solutions, ranking among the world’s top 3 server manufacturers.
