As organizations continue to build AI factories capable of handling massive-scale inference and data processing, one challenge looms large: how to deliver secure, multi-tenant infrastructure that keeps GPUs fully utilized without adding operational complexity.

At Armada, we're solving that challenge head-on. Bridge product now integrates with NVIDIA BlueField-3 data processing units (DPUs) and NVIDIA RTX PRO Servers featuring NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs — creating an end-to-end foundation for high-performance, automated AI infrastructure.

Offloading Complexity, Unlocking Performance​

GPU infrastructure deployed manually could result in inefficiency, underutilization, and data exposure. With Bridge, enterprises can automate the entire lifecycle of GPU infrastructure while enabling secure multi-tenancy across compute, storage, and networking layers.

By leveraging NVIDIA BlueField DPUs, network, storage and security workloads for AI infrastructure are offloaded from host CPUs, freeing up valuable compute cycles for business applications. Further, BlueField-accelerated data movement and zero trust security result in faster inference, stronger isolation, and more predictable performance for every AI workload.

Building the Fully Automated AI Factory​

Bridge integrates with NVIDIA RTX PRO Servers and NVIDIA BlueField DPUs to power fully automated AI Factories.

Key capabilities include:

  • Secure multi-tenancy across CPU, GPU, NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet, storage, and external connectivity
  • IaaS capabilities: Bare-Metal-as-a-Service, VM-as-a-Service, Storage-as-a-Service, and dedicated Kubernetes clusters
  • PaaS capabilities: LLM-as-a-Service, job submission, a third-party app catalog, and integration with NVIDIA Cloud Functions (NVCF) to monetize idle GPU capacity
  • Automated orchestration of NVIDIA DOCA microservices on BlueField for network, storage, and security acceleration leveraging the DOCA Platform Framework (DPF)

Together, these features enable enterprises to deploy secure, high-performance AI environments faster — maximizing GPU efficiency while reducing operational overhead.

Upcoming Features​

Armada continues to expand Bridge to leverage additional capabilities of the BlueField. Upcoming features include:

  • Zero-trust networking and distributed firewalls
  • DOCA-based storage applications
  • Kubernetes control plane on DPU
  • Secure boot and AI runtime protection

Looking Ahead: BlueField-4 and Gigascale AI​

The journey doesn't stop here. With NVIDIA BlueField-4 on the horizon — offering 6X the compute power of NVIDIA BlueField-3 and 800 Gb/s throughput — Bridge will extend its capabilities even further.

These innovations will enable AI factories to handle gigascale workloads while maintaining tight isolation, blazing-fast data access, and best-in-class security.

The Future of AI Infrastructure​

As enterprises evolve from AI pilots to full-scale production, they need infrastructure that's not only powerful — but programmable, secure, and efficient. The integration of Bridge with NVIDIA RTX PRO Servers and NVIDIA BlueField DPUs represents a major step toward that future.

We're excited to help our customers build the world's most efficient and secure AI factories — one GPU at a time.
