Ciao everyone,

I’m starting to draft a new OSIRIS JSON Producer for Dell and I would like to build it openly within this community.

As a first point of reference, I’m considering Dell infrastructure sources such as iDRAC, PowerEdge servers, PowerSwitch networking, and storage platforms such as PowerStore or PowerScale, depending on what the community considers most useful to map first.

I wrote OSIRIS JSON as a vendor-neutral specification designed to describe infrastructure resources and their relationships in a consistent way, without depending on SaaS middleware, external AI agents, MCP layers, or third-party services.

I already experimented by building producers for Cisco, AWS, and Azure to demonstrate that the specification can be applied to real infrastructure scenarios, from hyperscalers to on-premise environments.

Now I would like to bring Dell into the OSIRIS ecosystem as part of the on-premise data center landscape.

The goal is simple run the OSIRIS JSON producer manually or as a scheduled job and get a point-in-time portable snapshot of Dell in OSIRIS JSON format.

That snapshot, or a series of snapshots over time, could then be used to create vendor-neutral architectural or operational documentation, generate topology diagrams in draw.io or Mermaid, support audits, identify configuration drift, feed AI platforms or agents in a controlled way without exposing direct access, feed CMDB/IPAM/DCIM workflows, or serve other internal use cases.

This is not intended to replace Dell OpenManage Enterprise, iDRAC, PowerStore Manager, PowerScale OneFS, SmartFabric Services, or any existing Dell management tool or control plane. OSIRIS JSON is not a SaaS middleware, a control plane, an AI agent, or an MCP layer.

You can have a look at the specification and existing producers here:

OSIRIS JSON specification: https://osirisjson.org
OSIRIS producers: https://github.com/osirisjson/osiris-producers

I would really appreciate your thoughts and feedback on the idea of bringing an open specification to Dell infrastructure environments, with the goal of clearly seeing infrastructure end-to-end from the physical layer to the application layer.

Ciao from Italy,
Tia and my dog Tyson
