Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) is a set of management and Internet
standard technologies developed to unify the management of distributed computing
environments. WBEM provides the ability to exchange CIM information in an
interoperable and efficient manner. WBEM includes protocols, query languages,
discovery mechanisms, mappings, and anything else needed to exchange CIM information.
The DMTF technologies are distinctly isolated at an architectural level to
provide for maximum flexibility. The CIM defines the syntax that is used to define
the structure of management information. The CIM Schema builds upon CIM to provide
a robust set of common management information. WBEM provides an interoperable and
extensible means of managing CIM information; the set of
standards defined in the WBEM Initiative, when used in conjuction with CIM provide the
information management infrastructure. Taken separately, each of these DMTF technologies is
interesting in and of themselves, but only when they used combined do they provide
a powerful end-to-end enterprise management solution.
This section describes the following WBEM specifications. The items listed as
"under development" are included for informational purposes. As the standards evolve in
these areas, descriptions of them will be added to this tutorial.
