DMTF’s Redfish® is a standard API designed to deliver simple and secure management for converged, hybrid IT and the Software Defined Data Center (SDDC). This presentation will provide an overview of DMTF’s Redfish standard. It will also provide an overview of HPE’s implementation of Redfish, focusing on their storage implementation and needs. HPE will provide insights into the benefits and challenges of the Redfish Storage model, including areas where functionality added to SNIA™ Swordfish is of interest for future releases.

Today, storage and memory hierarchies are manually tuned and sized at design time. But tomorrow’s workloads are increasingly dynamic, multi-tenant and variable. Can we build autonomous storage systems that can adapt to changing application workloads? In this session, we demonstrate how breakthroughs in autonomous storage systems research can deliver impressive gains in cost, performance, latency control and customer out-of-the-box experience.

In mechanical engineering, CAD has enabled engineers, architects, and construction to create fully-featured designs so that they can visualize the construction which enables the development, modification, and optimization of the design process. Why is this missing from the world of performance engineering? Until now, it has been seen as an intractable problem to build for the exponential difficulty of complex storage and memory hierarchies. That’s no longer the case.
