DMTF proudly celebrates the 10th anniversary of Redfish®, the industry-leading standard delivering simple and secure management for hybrid IT and the Software Defined Data Center (SDDC). First introduced in 2015, Redfish has revolutionized data center management with its RESTful interface, JSON payloads, and broad industry adoption. Over the past decade, Redfish has become the trusted foundation for managing everything from single servers to large-scale cloud infrastructures to AI data centers.
“Redfish has fundamentally changed the way the industry approaches manageability. The evolution and expansion of the Redfish standard is due to collaboration with several of our DMTF alliance partners; they helped ensure that modern infrastructure requirements were included such as GPUs and DPUs to power, cooling, storage and so much more,” said Mike Raineri, co-chair of the Redfish Forum and DMTF board chair. “We’re proud of how the standard continues to evolve to meet the growing needs of modern IT environments.”
Redfish was designed from the beginning to align with modern development practices—leveraging REST and JSON to deliver a secure and scalable management interface. Over the past decade, it has become the de facto standard for platform management, enabling interoperability across multi-vendor environments and supporting a broadening range of use cases including composability, telemetry, and datacenter automation,” said Jeff Hilland, president of DMTF. “We’re proud of Redfish’s evolution and increasing relevance as infrastructure becomes innately software-defined.”
Today, Redfish continues to expand support for composability, storage, power, fabric management, DCIM, telemetry, virtualization, workloads and more, with strong collaboration across leading technology companies and open-source communities.
Here’s to 10 years of innovation — and the next 10 of redefining manageability!
