Radisys DCEngine Redfish PoC Components Hardware • Intel Xeon processor E5-2630L v4 • Intel® Server Board S2600TPR • Dual-port Intel® 82599EB 10 GbE I/O Module Software • OpenStack* Mitaka* • Ubuntu* 14.04 LTS • OpenStack services: dashboard, compute, network, block storage, object storage, identity, and image • OpenStack Ansible Deployment (OSAD), playbooks and roles for deployment and configuration on Radisys DCEngine, Radisys* MediaEngine* Virtualized Media Resource Function (vMRF) • Intel Rack Scale Design for hardware and resource management that features that are not supported by the Redfish API can be made discoverable and addressable. The standard also supports extensive automation of common management tasks. Radisys CommSP customers requested a DCEngine interface to Redfish to quickly scale compute and storage resources and integrate management of their multivendor environments. Working with Intel, Radisys demonstrated a proof of concept (PoC) in the Radisys customer lab to show how CommSPs can implement Redfish on the DCEngine using Intel® Rack Scale Design (Intel® RSD). The PoC also demonstrated how, once implemented, the system can be used to pool compute and storage resources to quickly scale to meet evolving requirements and improve agility, and to integrate with Redfish to create a common telemetry management interface. The Solution DCEngine is a cloud server platform that uses an open and modular architecture to provide CommSPs with a software- defined services delivery infrastructure that delivers agile and flexible service deployment. Inspired by the Open Compute Project (OCP),¹ DCEngine is a preinstalled frame that incorporates a collection of compute and storage sleds with integrated networking and centralized power, achieving density in a single rack of up to 2.4 petabytes of storage and up to 152 Intel® Xeon® class processors in a standard 42 RU frame. Solution Brief | Radisys,* Intel Deliver Telemetry Framework for Cloud Services For the PoC, Radisys adopted Intel Rack Scale Design (Intel RSD), a server architecture that disaggregates compute, storage, and network resources and provides the ability to efficiently pool and utilize these resources. Intel RSD supports Redfish and extends the specification for value-added features such as node composability and resource pooling. The DC Engine provides a standardized telemetry interface that can interoperate with non-Radisys platforms in a mixed-vendor environment. 2
