PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Distributed Management Task Force, Inc. (DMTF) today announced an alliance with the Open Data Center Committee (ODCC), based in Beijing, China, to ensure DMTF and ODCC standards are coordinated and aligned.
With its Scorpio standards, ODCC provides specifications for multi-node servers and contributes to building China's open data center, promoting the development of infrastructure standardization. The groups will collaborate to align this work with DMTF’s Redfish®, an open industry standard specification and schema that helps enable simple, secure and interoperable management of modern scalable platform hardware. ODCC will also participate in DMTF’s System Management BIOS (SMBIOS), the premier standard for delivering management information via system firmware.
“DMTF is committed to helping enable international interoperability through IT management standards,” said Jeff Hilland, president, DMTF. “ODCC is a leader in China, and this alliance stands to benefit global vendors and their customers worldwide. We appreciate their close work with DMTF’s Regional Chapter in China to bring about a tighter working relationship.”
