#53: Introduction and Overview of Redfish

Designed to meet the expectations of end users for simple, modern and secure management of scalable platform hardware, 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. This session provides an overview of the Redfish specification, including the base storage models and infrastructure that are used by the SNIA Swordfish extensions (see separate sessions for details). We will cover details of the Redfish approach, as well as information about the new PCIe and memory models added to support storage use cases. Learning Objectives: 1) Introduction to Redfish concepts; 2) Application of REST APIs to standards management.
