Swordfish Overview: Extending Data Center Control to the World of Storage

Abstract

Swordfish is an extension of the DMTF Redfish specification developed by the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) to provide a unified approach for the management of storage and servers in hyperscale, cloud infrastructure, and converged infrastructure environments, making it easier for IT administrators to integrate scalable solutions into their data centers. This presentation shows how Swordfish extends Redfish and provides an overview of basic Swordfish concepts, and examples of standards-based automation for the data center using EnergyStar® instrumentation.
