Optimized resource utilization: Red Hat OpenShift uses intelligent resource management
to offload networking services from the CPU to the DPU, which frees up resources for AI
application workloads, thereby optimizing resource utilization.
Data plane and storage traffic acceleration: Red Hat OpenShift on BlueField helps speed
up the data plane and storage traffic by offloading crypto and storage processing to the
DPU, with support for NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF) and an accelerated OVS data path,
which enhances performance for demanding AI workloads.

Advanced cloud networking: Red Hat OpenShift, with distributed routing capabilities
powered by BlueField, helps improve secure multi-tenancy, network scalability,
performance and traffic efficiency across clusters while streamlining network operations.

Improved security posture: Red Hat OpenShift offloads infrastructure tasks to BlueField
which helps reduce the attack surface for applications with a layered approach to
security, effectively improving security posture.

Support for NVIDIA BlueField on Red Hat OpenShift will be available as a technical preview
in the coming weeks. Red Hat will continue to collaborate with NVIDIA to integrate
additional support capabilities for the NVIDIA DOCA software framework and third party
network functions for NVIDIA BlueField on Red Hat OpenShift.

Looking ahead, NVIDIA BlueField-4 will further extend these capabilities with next-
generation acceleration, deeper DOCA integration, and enhanced performance to power the
next wave of cloud-native AI factories. Red Hat is also working with NVIDIA to
support Spectrum-X Ethernet networking, enabling seamless, high-performance connectivity
for AI workloads across distributed cloud environments.
