DMTF Redfish® is now a very fully featured management ecosystem for server management, but what about storage? Isn’t that Swordfish? Well, actually …
While Swordfish provides the storage-centric functionality, it leverages all of its base functionality from Redfish. Storage users and implementers can take advantage of the latest features in Redfish directly, including:
• Fabric support for CXL, supporting Swordfish and Sunfish
• Enhanced audit logging
• Enhanced metrics instrumentation
• Enhanced modeling for thermal and cooling, SKU management

The SNIA/DMTF Swordfish storage management standard provides a rich data set for managing and maintaining awareness of storage infrastructure. In this talk I'll query data from a device conforming to the Swordfish standard API and use the data for common use cases in storage management, reporting, and asset management that we have in our bespoke systems management tools. I'll look at how the data is delivered and how the various data defined by the standard are used to build the relationships we require for those common use cases.

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.

Want to dive into what’s new in storage management? This presentation provides a brief overview of DMTF Redfish® and SNIA Swordfish® and how they work together to provide a unified approach for the management of storage and servers in hyperscale and cloud environments.
With the broad functionality base in Redfish and Swordfish today, there are now many capabilities available that may not be obvious at first glance. This presentation will highlight a couple of example use cases, such as leveraging the Redfish audit logging for security purposes.

Big changes lie ahead for the world of data processing in many areas: hardware structure, data management, processing algorithms, and even computing types (analog vs. digital.) How must the technical community prepare for these changes? Join noted analyst Jim Handy and IEEE President Tom Coughlin as they look at future computing systems in which storage will appear in new and interesting places.

Now that NVMe™ has ratified TP4159 PCIe® Infrastructure for Live Migration, it is time to show the final details of how NVMe controllers in direct attached PCIe SSDs can be migrated from one server to the next for use cases such as workload balancing and maintenance. In this presentation I will detail the new commands, new events, new queues, updates to existing commands, and vendor specific options. This presentation will cover how a host utilizes the new protocol to migrate a controller.
