Ideal Solution for JBOF and JBOD Systems
BlueField-2 I/O Processing Unit (IPU) is a highly integrated and efficient controller, optimized for NVMe storage systems, Network Functions Virtualization
(NFV), Cloud, and Machine Learning workloads. BlueField-2 integrates all the discrete components of a storage system appliance into a single chip,
including Arm core CPUs, PCIe switch, and a network controller, making it the premier solution for building Just-a-Bunch-Of-Flash (JBOF) systems, All-
Flash-Array, and storage appliances for NVMe over Fabrics. With an integrated NVMe-oF offload accelerator, the BF2500 DPU Controller has a superior
performance advantage over existing JBOF systems, significantly reducing storage transaction latency, while increasing IOPs (I/O operations per second).

The BlueField BF2500 DPU Controller should be installed only in a JBOF and JBOD Systems as it functions as a PCIe root-complex (RC) initiating
PCIe bus operations. Installing it in a regular host system may damage the card.
