If you’ve heard about the SNIA Swordfish open industry storage management standard specification and want to get a technical overview, this presentation is for you. 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.

If you haven’t caught the new wave in storage management, it’s time to dive in and catch up on the latest developments of the SNIA Swordfish™ specification. These include: - Expanded support for NVMe and NVMe-oF Devices - Managing Storage Fabrics - Standardized Capacity and Performance Metrics Management

The SNIA Swordfish Conformance Test Program enables manufacturers to test their products with a vendor-neutral test suite and validate conformance to the SNIA Swordfish specification. Swordfish implementations that have passed CTP are posted on the SNIA website; this information is available to help ease integration concerns of storage developers and increase demand for available Swordfish products. This session will provide an overview of the program, what functionality implementations and base requirements are needed for implementations to pass Swordfish CTP.

SNIA Swordfish® provides a comprehensive standards-based interface to manage scalable storage. This presentation provides a broad look at the 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).

Delivering high-performance interoperable computational infrastructures is vital to meeting the exponential growth of global data for applications in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Analytics, Cloudification of the Network and Edge, and High-Performance Computing. CXL™ (Compute Express Link™), an open interconnect standard, delivers coherency and memory semantics using high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity between the host processor and devices such as accelerators, memory buffers, and smart I/O devices to deliver optimized performance in evolving usage models.

Discuss topics related to manageability with SNIA and its alliance partners including DMTF, NVMe, OFA, SODA Foundation, CXL, UCIe.

Topics include:

• What initiatives and projects are underway right now?
• What more can SNIA do with alliance its partners?
• Learn how YOU can get involved!

The Storage Management Initiative will be providing refreshments and a special giveaway!

This Informal panel will help developers of storage monitoring and management applications to interact with Swordfish clients and ask questions, understand requirements, and provide opportunities  for client/vendor engagement.

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.
