#23: Overview of Swordfish: Scalable Storage Management

The SNIA’s Scalable Storage Management Technical Work Group (SSM TWG) is working to create and publish an open industry standard specification for storage management that defines a customer centric interface for the purpose of managing storage and related data services. This specification builds on the DMTF’s Redfish specification’s using RESTful methods and JSON formatting. This session will present an overview of the specification being developed by SSM including the scope targeted in the initial (V1) release in 2016 vs later (2017). This session will also provide the positioning of the specification developed by the SSM TWG vs SMI-S as well as the base Redfish specification.
