23 Standards-based storage management for Dell EMC PowerEdge servers
4 Summary
The DMTF Redfish standard is emerging as a key new tool for efficient, scalable, and secure server
management. Utilizing an industry-standard interface and data format, Redfish supports rapid development of
automation for one-to-many server management. System administrators and IT developers will appreciate
Redfish features that can increase efficiency, lower costs and boost productivity across their organizations.
Using the iDRAC RESTful API with Redfish 2016 support, administrators can script the automation of server
storage functions including detailed inventory, monitoring and configuration of storage controllers, enclosures
and physical and virtual drives.
Dell EMC is a committed leader in the development and implementation of open, industry standards.
Supporting Redfish within the iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller further enhances the manageability of
PowerEdge servers, providing another powerful tool to help IT administrators reduce complexity while
increasing the efficiency of their operations.
