Migrating OEM Extensions to Swordfish for Scalable Storage Management

Before the release of the SNIA Swordfish™ v1.1.0 specification, direct attach server vendors trying to accomplish scalable or complex storage management in the DTMF Redfish® standard, had to use OEM extensions to extend the limited storage management functionality that Redfish provides. Redfish is designed to manage converged, hybrid IT and the software defined data center. During this presentation, the speaker from Cisco will provide an overview of the company’s existing storage management solution using Redfish storage and OEM extensions. The speaker will also discuss Cisco’s implementation experience to-date that consists of planning the migration of its OEM storage management Redfish extensions to the standards-based schema in the v1.1.0 SNIA Swordfish specification.
