Storage management in a firmware framework

A method, comprising:

• producing, by an Embedded Controller (EC) of an Information Handling System (IHS), an orchestrator;
• producing, by a plurality of devices coupled to the EC, a plurality of nodes participating with the orchestrator in a firmware framework;
• and
• in response to a request by a given device to store overflow data, selecting a memory associated with a chosen device among the plurality of devices to store the overflow data based, at least in part, upon a storage capability advertised by the chose device as an exposed service in the firmware framework.

An Embedded Controller (EC) integrated into or coupled to a heterogeneous computing platform of an Information Handling System (IHS), the EC comprising:

• a processing core distinct from any host processor of the heterogeneous computing platform;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processing core, the memory having firmware instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processing core, cause the EC to:
• identify a storage need;
• and
• select a memory associated with a chosen device among the plurality of devices in response to the identification based, at least in part, upon a storage management policy provided by an Information Technology Decision Maker (ITDM) or Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).
