Redfish standard as a replacement for IPMI Chassis Management

Red Alert

Conclusion

Redfish is intended to replace IPMI as the standard for Chassis Management, and the DMTF has gotten buy-in from many well-known IT manufacturers. Some, like Super Micro and HPE, already deliver firmware with Redfish support. Although software support continues to be less than adequate, improvement on this front is only a matter of time because Redfish sits on standards like HTTP and JSON. Alternatively, many programs currently use HTTP requests to query Redfish hardware to explore the structure of the management interface with OData.
