① SA Source

Context Before

Lastly, the BlueField-4 DPU is able to control the 8 ConnectX-9 backend NICs allowing for unified management of both front end north-south network & back end high speed East-West networks. This system, known as Advanced Secure Trusted Resource Architecture (Astra), thus takes the provisioning and monitoring load off of the host CPU. The only issue with this is that BlueField-4 is expensive, so we expect most hyperscale customers to deploy their in-house DPU solutions instead. We will discuss customization more in the later sections.

Context After

Compute Tray Cableless Design

As mentioned above the VR NVL72 compute tray is designed around the cableless concept. As we discussed in our PCB Supercycle Core Research note in August last year as well as our recent Core Research note on Amphenol’s AI Content , there are two reasons for this design. First, flyover cables present multiple different points of failure as they can easily be damaged during assembly. Second, the high-density design of VR NVL72 leaves limited space for cables to be routed.
