Scaling Management of Storage and Fabrics

Composable disaggregated infrastructures (CDI) provide a promising solution to address the provisioning and computational efficiency limitations, as well as hardware and operating costs, of integrated, siloed, systems. But how do we solve these problems in an open, standards-based way?

DMTF, SNIA, the OFA, and the CXL Consortium are working together to provide elements of the overall solution, with Redfish® and SNIA Swordfish manageability providing the standards-based interface.

The OpenFabrics Alliance (OFA) is developing an OpenFabrics Management Framework (OFMF) designed for configuring fabric interconnects and managing composable disaggregated resources in dynamic HPC infrastructures using client-friendly abstractions.

Want to learn more? On Wednesday, May 17, 2023, SNIA Storage Management Initiative (SMI) and the OFA are hosting a live webinar entitled “Casting the Net: Scaling Management of Storage and Fabrics” to share use cases for scaling management of storage and fabrics and beyond.

They’ll dive into:

  • What is CDI? Why should you care? How will it help you?
  • Why does standards-based management help?
  • What does a management framework for CDI look like?
  • How can you get involved? How can your engagement accelerate solutions?

In under an hour, this webinar will give you a solid understanding of how SMI and OFA, along with other alliance partners, are creating the approaches and standards to solve the puzzle of how to effectively address computational efficiency limitations.

Register here to join us on May 17th.
