DMTF proudly celebrates the 10th anniversary of its groundbreaking Redfish® standard, which has revolutionized the way IT and AI infrastructure is managed in modern, scalable, and interoperable environments. From its launch in 2015 to its newest specification release—Redfish 2025.3—Redfish has become the industry standard for secure, simple, and comprehensive management of hybrid IT and the Software Defined Data Center (SDDC).

Originally developed to replace legacy protocols with a modern, RESTful interface, Redfish has continuously evolved to meet the changing demands of data centers, edge computing, and composable infrastructure. The Redfish ecosystem now enables unified management of modern IT - from traditional servers and storage to GPUs and DPUs, power and cooling infrastructure, hyperscale cloud platforms, and cutting-edge AI data centers.

“Over the past decade, Redfish has grown from a bold vision to an essential foundation for modern AI and IT management,” said Jeff Hilland, DMTF president. “Its open, extensible model has enabled unprecedented interoperability across vendors and platforms—giving organizations confidence that they can scale efficiently. Redfish continues to expand support for composability, storage, power, fabrics, DCIM, telemetry, virtualization, workloads and more. I can’t wait to see its growth over the next 10 years.”

The success of Redfish is driven by strong industry collaboration, including work with several of DMTF’s alliance partners. Contributors and adopters include leading companies across hardware, software, and hyperscale cloud providers. DMTF’s Redfish Forum continues to guide the development of the standard, ensuring it remains aligned with real-world implementation and innovation.

The Redfish standard has revolutionized data center and IT infrastructure management over the past decade. Developed through industry collaboration including with Dell Technologies, Redfish has become essential in driving interoperability, simplifying operations, and enabling scalable, secure management across diverse environments. This standard exemplifies the impact of open collaboration in shaping the future of data center infrastructure.

“We are deeply proud of the role HPE has played in pioneering a standard that has transformed our industry,” said Scott Shaffer, vice president and chief technologist, Compute at HPE. “Redfish has revolutionized IT infrastructure management and enabled us to simplify operations for our customers. Redfish’s widescale adoption underscores the power of collaboration to drive industry standardization. Together with our peers, we are honored to celebrate Redfish’s 10-year anniversary as we continue to advance technologies that deliver unmatched value to our customers worldwide and shape the future of technology.”

“For more than a decade, Redfish has been central to Lenovo’s infrastructure management across our ThinkSystem server portfolio and the XClarity software solutions,” said Greg Huff, senior vice president and chief technology officer, Lenovo Infrastructure Solutions Group. “As an early implementer of Redfish, we've prioritized advancing the standard's capabilities and features to keep pace with evolving IT demands. Lenovo remains committed to simplifying platforming management through open standards, enabling customers to deliver infrastructure faster while meeting security and scalability demands.”

“Redfish has been transformative for Microsoft Azure’s hyperscale platform management,” said Naga Gurumoorthy, corporate vice president, Firmware Engineering at Microsoft Azure. “Over the past decade, it has enabled us to standardize telemetry, streamline firmware updates, and drive vendor-agnostic compliance across our datacenter fleet. Through active contributions to the Redfish schema and message registry, Microsoft has helped shape Redfish into a scalable, interoperable foundation for modern infrastructure automation.”

“Supermicro applauds the Redfish API ten-year anniversary -- it's a compelling infrastructure management standard adopted by the industry,” said Arun Kalluri, vice president, Software Products, Supermicro. “Supermicro joined DMTF 10 years ago and actively developed Redfish implementation across our platforms and promoted it industry-wide. Supermicro customers leverage Redfish's protocols for managing heterogeneous hyperscale data management environments, and we will continue to lead the adoption of Redfish and its alignment with our Data Center Building Block Solutions.”

“As a founder and ongoing contributor to the Redfish standard, Vertiv is proud to celebrate this milestone for a standardized, evolving data model that remains highly relevant to today’s data centers,” said Ramesh Menon, vice president, IT systems business unit at Vertiv. “We’ve implemented Redfish across our product families, unifying IT, power, and thermal management to enhance automation, interoperability, and security for AI and other advanced applications. We look forward to continued innovation through Redfish.”

The newly released Redfish 2025.3 builds on this legacy with powerful new features, including:

• Expanded support for AI and accelerator infrastructure
• Enhanced schema for firmware and software inventory
• Improved support for multi-tenant environments
• Additional power and thermal management capabilities

With global adoption continuing to rise, Redfish is now integrated into countless management tools and platforms - delivering seamless, automated control of complex infrastructure environments.
