Ransomware is an acknowledged threat, and protecting your data must be a security-in-depth exercise. We discusses how Intelligent Storage can detect and recover from an attack while maintaining administrative isolation from compromised servers. While this method is only a single layer of a defence-in-depth infrastructure, it can be implemented invisibly on existing workloads and storage which can gather the proper sets of metrics.

HPE will provide an overview of their experience developing an initial Swordfish implementation. This session will provide an overview of lessons learned through the initial proof-of-concept through development phases and will include recommendations to other implementers of areas that may require additional focus.

The SNIA Swordfish™ ecosystem is broader than just the specification. This session will provide an overview an overview of the various tools and programs to help developers accelerate both implementation and adoption of Swordfish. This includes demonstrating the interactive nature of tools, schema, and development, by leveraging the testing done by other tools, such as schema validation, implementation conformance testing throughout the development cycle.

If you haven’t caught the new wave in storage management, it’s time to dive in. This presentation provides a broad look at the Redfish and Swordfish ReSTful hierarchies, maps these to some common applications, and provides an overview of the Swordfish tools and documentation ecosystem developed by SNIA’s Scalable Storage Management Technical Work Group (SSM TWG) and the Redfish Forum. It will also provide an overview of what’s new in ’22, including enhancements to NVMe support, storage fabric management, and capacity and performance metric management.

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.
