10/30/25, 11:47 AM Red Hat Announces Support For Red Hat Openshift On NVIDIA Bluefield Dpus
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.

“As the adoption of generative and agentic AI grows, the demand for advanced

security and performance in datacenters has never been higher, particularly with
the proliferation of AI workloads. Our collaboration with NVIDIA to enable Red Hat
OpenShift support for NVIDIA BlueField DPUs provides customers with a more
reliable, secure and high-performance platform to address this challenge and
maximize their hardware investment.”
