   OpenFabrics Alliance Launches Sunfish⢠to Provide an Open-Source
   Approach for Composable Disaggregated Infrastructure Management

   The [1]OpenFabrics Alliance (OFA) is excited to announce the launch of
   OFA Sunfish⢠â an open-source framework to help simplify the
   development of Composable Disaggregated Infrastructure (CDI) cloud and
   HPC architectures. Formerly the OpenFabrics Management Framework
   (OFMF), the Sunfish project is a collaboration between the OFA and its
   partners the [2]CXL⢠Consortium, [3]DMTF, and [4]SNIA to provide
   elements of an overall solution to address limits on provisioning and
   computational efficiency, hardware operating costs, and energy
   consumption of integrated and siloed systems.

   Using [5]DMTF Redfish® and [6]SNIA Swordfish⢠manageability to
   provide a standards-based interface, Sunfish is designed to configure
   fabric interconnects and manage composable disaggregated heterogeneous
   hardware resources in dynamic datacenter infrastructures using
   client-friendly abstractions.

   As a new open-source composable computing system framework, Sunfish
   offers a unified set of tools to control and monitor computing
   resources accessed over multiple network fabric types. With Sunfish,
   clients will have the ability to interact with distributed resources
   and connect fabrics to automate orchestration and maintain large-scale
   parallel and distributed computing systems.

   Visit the [7]Sunfish page on our website to learn more about the
   industryâs efforts around Sunfish and to access valuable details on Use
   Cases and how to get stated.

   Sunfish makes a splash at SNIA Storage Developer Conference (SDCâ23)

   At the recent [8]SDCâ23 â held September 18-21 in Fremont, CA â Russ
   Herrell of member company HPE presented on Sunfish and how it plays an
   important part in helping the industry overcome the challenges of
   running composable disaggregated infrastructures.

   If you were unable to attend SDCâ23, keep an eye on the [9]SNIA YouTube
   Channel to view a recording of the session, â[10]Sunfish Open Source
   Management for Composable Disaggregated Infrastructuresâ, for a
   deep-dive on Sunfish as well as a live demonstration of the Sunfish
   reference implementation.

   More on tap for OFA and Sunfish at Supercomputing Conference 2023
   (SCâ23)

   The OFA is excited to once again participate in the Open Standards
   Pavilion at SCâ23 â taking place November 12-17 in Denver, CO. Experts
   will be on hand at the kiosk to showcase a demo of Sunfish and discuss
   other OFA initiatives such as the Fabric Software Development Platform
   (FSDP) and OpenFabrics Interfaces (OFI).

   Furthermore, the OFA will have a representative presenting on Sunfish
   at both the BUG23 and RESDIS23 during the week of SC23.

   Stay tuned for more details in the coming weeks.
