MBF2M345A-HECOT, NVIDIA Mellanox BlueField-2 DPU, 200GbE QSFP56/PCIe Gen4 x16/16GB DDR

The Mellanox MBF2M345A-HECOT is a high-performance NVIDIA BlueField-2 E-Series DPU adapter card designed for next-generation data center and cloud infrastructure. This PCIe Gen4 x16 HHHL card offloads networking, security, and storage tasks from the host CPU, helping enterprises, cloud providers, and service integrators build faster and more secure platforms. With a single 200GbE / HDR 200 InfiniBand port through a QSFP56 connector, the MBF2M345A-HECOT delivers very high bandwidth and low latency connectivity for demanding workloads in Asia, Europe, Africa, and North America. The on-board 16 GB DDR4 memory allows complex data path processing, virtual network functions, and containerized services to run directly on the DPU, improving overall server utilization and reducing CPU overhead.

This BlueField-2 E-Series DPU adapter card is built for modern software-defined and disaggregated architectures. It supports secure boot and hardware-accelerated crypto, enabling strong isolation between tenants and applications, which is vital for multi-tenant data centers and edge cloud deployments. The dedicated 1GbE out-of-band management interface makes remote operations and lifecycle management easier for distributors and system integrators who manage large-scale fleets. By placing policy enforcement, encryption, and telemetry on the DPU, the MBF2M345A-HECOT helps simplify network design, reduce load on core switches and routers, and improve compliance with internal and external security standards.

For small and medium system integrators, the MBF2M345A-HECOT offers a compact half-height, half-length form factor with a tall bracket, making integration into standard servers straightforward. It can be used in high-density racks, HPC clusters, AI training nodes, and storage systems where consistent performance and predictable latency are critical. End users benefit from faster application response, improved protection of sensitive data, and more efficient use of existing server hardware without a full platform refresh. Whether you are building a new cloud region, expanding an enterprise private cloud, or upgrading a research computing cluster, this Mellanox DPU adapter card provides a practical path to accelerate networking and security services at the infrastructure level.
