White Paper: Energy Efficient Data Center Storage
|
|
The Green Grid® and SNIA Green Storage Initiative have released an updated white paper, “Energy Efficient Data Center Storage: An Assessment of Storage Product Power Efficiency.” The updated white paper includes new data analysis based on several years of EPA ENERGY STAR® Enterprise Storage System reports and further advises that an idle-only metric is a misleading indicator of a system's efficiency. This is white paper #86 which replaces white paper #77.
Additional EPA ENERGY STAR reports can be reviewed and downloaded at the EPA ENERGY STAR website.

SNIA Swordfish™ 1.2.4a Is Now a SNIA Standard in Storage Management
|
|
SNIA Swordfish™ 1.2.4a has been approved by SNIA as an official SNIA standard in storage management. This version adds:
- Enhanced support for NVMe® and NVMe-oF™ configurations, with detailed requirements for JBOF and EBOFs, and NVMe-oF fabric-attached configurations.
- Enhancements to the NVMe Model Overview and Mapping Guide
- New content in both the User’s Guide and the Error Handling Guide
- A new white paper “Metrics and Telemetry in Swordfish.”
The SNIA Swordfish specification extends the DMTF® Redfish Scalable Platforms Management API Specification to define a comprehensive, RESTful API for managing storage and related data services. Swordfish is the ONLY option for a standardized interface to manage NVMe devices at scale, while addressing increasing customer demand for interoperability.
