The DMTF’s Redfish is an open industry standard specification and schema that specifies a RESTful interface and utilizes JSON and OData to help customers integrate solutions within their existing tool chains. Designed to meet the expectations of end users for simple, modern and secure management of scalable platform hardware, the Redfish method and approach has seen accelerated adoption across the IT infrastructure management standards community.

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). Both human readable and machine capable, Redfish leverages common Internet and web services standards to expose information directly to the modern tool chain. This presentation will provide an overview of Redfish, what’s new in the Redfish ecosystem, as well as adoption in the broader standards community.

DMTF’s Redfish® is a standard 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 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.
