Red Hat OpenShift on NVIDIA BlueField DPUs provides a secure and performant platform for AI factories
and next-generation data center deployments

– Red Hat, the world’s leading provider of open source solutions, today announced support for Red Hat
OpenShift on NVIDIA BlueField data processing units (DPUs), making it easier for organizations to deploy
demanding AI application workloads with optimized security, networking and storage capabilities.

While modern business environments require increasingly secure and efficient ways to handle a growing

volume of data, AI applications often compete with essential infrastructure services for resources. This can
lead to potential performance bottlenecks and security risks. To address this challenge, Red Hat OpenShift
on NVIDIA BlueField offers a common, cloud-native platform that supports enhanced networking,
streamlined provisioning and lifecycle management.

This approach creates isolation between the AI applications and infrastructure workloads, including
networking and security services, that run on BlueField, offering additional benefits such as:

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
