The DMTF’s Redfish Forum is dedicated to creating and publishing an open industry standard specification and schema that meets the expectations of end users for simple, modern and secure management of scalable platform hardware.
The Redfish standard specification and schema – developed on an aggressive timeline by the DMTF’s Redfish Forum - specifies a RESTful interface and utilizes JSON and OData to help customers integrate solutions within their existing tool chains.
Visit the Redfish page to learn more about this standard for data center and systems management that delivers improved performance, functionality, scalability and security.
