Information
The goal of this section is to introduce the Distributed
Management Task Force (DMTF), the DMTF organizational structure and the
DMTF processes. This section also introduces the membership levels and
the advantages and value of membership. Finally, it describes how
member and non-member companies can get involved, provide feedback, and
ask for help.
DMTF Introduction
With more than 3,500 active participants, the
Distributed Management Task
Force, Inc. (DMTF) is a not-for-profit, vendor-neutral, collaborative
body that
is leading the development, adoption, and unification of management
standards
and initiatives for desktop, enterprise, and Internet environments.
DMTF
standards provide common management infrastructure components for
instrumentation, control, and communication in a platform-independent
and technology-neutral
way. DMTF standards include the Common Information Model (CIM),
communication/control protocols such as Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM), and the
Systems
Management Architecture for Server Hardware (SMASH) Initiative. Working
with
key technology vendors and affiliated standards groups, the DMTF is
enabling a
more integrated, cost-effective approach to management through
interoperable
management solutions.
