The OpenFabrics Alliance (OFA), together with its partners, DMTF, SNIA, and the CXL Consortium, are continuing development of Sunfish, an open-source composable computing system framework, to provide a unified set of tools to control and monitor both computing resources and multiple network fabric types. The Sunfish workgroup has demonstrated management of disaggregated memory systems based on CXL and compute accelerators such as GPUs. We are now expanding our scope to encompass the management of scalable fabric attached storage resources with SNIA Swordfish®. In this presentation, we will update on the activities around support for distributed storage and demonstrate a Sunfish Agent that interacts with a SNIA Swordfish endpoint to configure and provision remote storage resources to applications.
Learn what’s new with OFA Sunfish development, including expansion of its scope to encompass management of scalable fabric attached storage resources with SNIA Swordfish Learn how Sunfish plays a role in helping the industry overcome the challenges of running composable disaggregated infrastructure Receive a demonstration of how a Sunfish Agent interacts with a SNIA Swordfish endpoint to configure and provision remote storage resources to applications.
