=== Hardware Management === ==== Rajeev Agrawala - Goldman Sachs ==== Rajeev Agrawala manages the engineering for compute platform at Goldman Sachs. In his role he is responsible for Server hardware engineering, Virtualization Engineering, Linux Engineering and provisioning. His team is instrumental in architecting the complete platform which enables the custom low latency environment on one end and private cloud offering on other end. Prior to his current role, Rajeev managed the grid environment at Goldman. During his 10 years tenure in that role, he architected and developed a highly automated operational design enabling the environment to grow to 10s of thousands of severs. In that role, he also introduced Tier-2 servers to the firm. His previous experience include ASIC design and design of data acquisition systems. In his current role, Rajeev has been working with Grant Richard (current lead for hardware management) and has helped him write the current Hardware management spec for OCP. Rajeev’s belief is that the current differentiation in hardware management by vendors is gratuitous and his goal is to define a common interface for hardware management. ==== Hank Bruning - JBlade ==== I have spent the last 14 years at JBlade exclusively designing System Managers for Data Centers and Telcos. I am the principle architect for the Java library Hemi that implements IPMI 2.0 which is the foundation hardware management. I am the author of over 70 IPMI commands that are used to control servers, RAIDS, network switches and security appliances. For 12 years I was member of the PICMG executive committee and was a contributing author to the hardware management chapters for the AdvancedTCA, MicroTCA and AdvancedMC standards. I also was a contributing author to the PICMG specifications HPM.1 Firmware Upgrade (vendor neutral re-flashing of devices using IPMI) and HPM.2 LAN-Attached IPM Controller which increases bandwidth to a FRU in by 98%. You can review my OCP proposal for remotely managing servers, storage and network switches titled "Type A IPM Controller" on the OCP hardware mailing list I have also spent six years at Philips(USA and Holland) as a software architect and head of patent strategy for digital video transmission(two years). I was a software programmer for two years with Loral Space Information Systems at NASA Houston, Moffit field and Falcon Air Force bases. I have been a member of OCP since August 2012. For 2014 I would like the OCP Hardware Management subcommittee to develop standards with unambiguous numbered requirements that define 1)a common method to upload firmware, 2)adopt some derivative of the Type A IPM Controller with it's optical and DDR memory asset inventory and 3) develop a method to encapsulate the entire IPMI sensor state of a chassis in a single UDP packet(64K bytes max) using an extension to IPMI RMCP protocol. I speak English and Dutch.
