Red Hat announces support for Red Hat OpenShift on NVIDIA BlueField DPUs

Red Hat 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 ...
