ODIM
Open Distributed Infrastructure Management, ODIM, is a stack based on DTMF Redfish Services and Model. It puts up Redfish compliant APIs on the northbound side that allows for clients to interact with these Services and data center resources managed by ODIM.
ODIM does basically 3 things:
- Abstraction/Translation – Clients don’t see differences in vendors’ Redfish implementation or management protocols
- Aggregation – ODIM aggregates all resources across the datacenter. No knowledge of IP addresses or credentials needed
- Proxy – Clients don’t need to be on the management network. Enables centralized functions
