In today’s rapidly changing datacenters, it is very difficult to visualize your current equipment utilization, much less be able to predict when and where to expect bottlenecks, issues and failures to occur. Particularly in a multi-vendor solution, DMTF Redfish® and SNIA Swordfish® can bridge the gap to provide the key instrumentation needed.
This presentation will provide an overview of techniques and examples to use Redfish/Swordfish instrumentation, such as metrics and counters, to populate graphs and create predictive models of Asset utilization, Power and Temp metrics, and Capacity and Performance statistics. The models can facilitate decision making, chargeback opportunities, infrastructure optimization, and refresh/upgrade cycles.
