The OpenFabrics Alliance (OFA), together with DMTF, SNIA, and the CXL Consortium, is driving significant progress in the development of Sunfish, an open-source composable computing system framework designed to unify the management of modern heterogeneous infrastructure. Through this multi-organization collaboration, Sunfish is evolving into a comprehensive toolkit for controlling and monitoring compute, memory, accelerators, and multiple network fabric types.
At this year’s SNIA Developer Conference, the OFA presented “OFA Sunfish: New Applications for Distributed Storage with SNIA Swordfish®.” This session highlighted new work extending Sunfish beyond compute and memory to support scalable, fabric-attached storage resources using SNIA Swordfish®.
Expanding Sunfish Through Collaboration
The Sunfish Workgroup brings together expertise across industry standards organizations.
- OFA contributes its deep background in high-performance fabrics and open-source management models.
- SNIA provides robust storage management standards through Swordfish, enabling consistent provisioning and monitoring across vendors.
- DMTF lends standardized Redfish®/Fabric Management constructs that form the foundation of the Sunfish architecture.
- The CXL Consortium brings essential capabilities around disaggregated memory and device composability.
This collaboration ensures Sunfish aligns with widely adopted industry standards while introducing new capabilities for integrated, cross-domain resource management.
