Resellers and Technology Integrators
As resellers' customers increasingly look to simplify infrastructures and reduce complexity, standards-based technologies provide the flexibility necessary to deliver increased efficiencies. To achieve successful integration and use of management data – both within an end user’s business and IT departments and between management vendors – effective management standards are a required, basic building block.
For resellers and technology integrators, leveraging DMTF technologies and standards can provide a key way to add value for customers. From the Common Information Model (CIM) and Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) standards, which deliver a common way to describe and exchange management information, to the Systems Management Architecture for Server Hardware (SMASH) specifications, which enable simple and intuitive management of heterogeneous servers in the data center, DMTF standards can help you serve as a trusted partner to your clients and solve your customers’ business needs.
