1 Framework and requirements for cloud computing

Table I.2 – DMTF related specifications

Specification Summary Published

Redfish Scalable Platforms This specification is to define the protocols, data model 2018-08-23
Management API Specification and behaviors, as well as other architectural components
[b-DMTF RFAPI] needed for an interoperable, cross-vendor, remote and
out-of-band capable interface that meets the
expectations of Cloud and web-based IT professionals for
scalable platform management. While large scale systems
are the primary focus, the specifications are also capable
of being used for more traditional system platform
management implementations.
Redfish Host Interface Specification This specification defines functional requirements for 2017-12-11
[b-DMTF RFHI] Redfish Host Interfaces. In the context of this document,
the term "Host Interface" refers to interfaces that can be
used by software running on a computer system to access
the Redfish Service that is used to manage that computer
system.
Redfish Interoperability Profiles The Redfish Interoperability Profile is a JSON document 2018-05-15
[b-DMTF RFP] that contains Schema-level, Property-level and Registry-
level requirements. At the property level, these
requirements can include a variety of conditions under
which the requirement applies.

I.1.3 SNIA
The Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) is a non-profit organization made up of member
companies spanning information technology. A globally recognized and trusted authority, SNIA's mission is
to lead the storage industry in developing and promoting vendor-neutral architectures, standards and
educational services that facilitate the efficient management, movement and security of information.

Specification Summary Published

SNIA Swordfish Specification V1.0.6 The Swordfish Scalable Storage Management API 2018-05-25
[b-SNIA SF] ("Swordfish") defines a RESTful interface and a
standardized data model to provide a scalable, customer-
centric interface for managing storage and related data
services. It extends the Redfish Scalable Platforms
Management API Specification (DSP0266) from the
DMTF.
I.1.4 ETSI

The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) is the recognized regional standards body –
European Standards Organization (ESO) – dealing with telecommunications, broadcasting and other
electronic communications networks and services.

The ETSI NFV EVE Working Group seeks to develop the necessary requirements to enable a common set of
hardware elements and physical environments (e.g., data centres) that can be used to support network
function virtualization (NFV) services [b-ETSI EVE007].
