WBEM/CIM (DMTF) Anyone?

Posted by Cliff on from the do-you-use-this-standard dept.

semanticgap asks: "My employer is seeking to revamp the way its numerous servers and workstations are managed, and we're considering developing or piecing something together that is based on the DMTF CIM and WBEM specs. There are a few open source tools out there that implement these, e.g. Pegasus or IBM's SBLIM, and the spec seems to have been in development for years and supported by big guys like IBM, Sun, M$, etc. Does anyone use DMTF standards out there, and do you think it has a future?"

  1. Acronym expansion anyone? by Bingo+Foo · · Score: 3, Insightful
    In the title alone, there are 11 letters worth of unexpanded acronyms, and by the end of this three line post there are an additional 5. Would it be that hard to write something like:

    "Dear Slashdot, I am a PTCBADUTAIK (Poster that can't believe anyone doesn't understand the acronyms I know), and I want to post an ask Slashdot. What should I do?"
