DMTF Standards for Virtual Management (VMAN)

For IT Personnel (CIOs, IT Managers and IT Administrators) who want to take a service view of their virtual applications and to manage those applications through their entire lifecycle, VMAN provides maximum flexibility in a multi-vendor environment by increasing choices of applications and tools, reducing deployment, training and maintenance costs and improving interoperability.

Unlike most standards, which are typically introduced long after a market segment has become established, VMAN is being introduced early in the evolution of the virtualization market. This means IT professionals can help shape and drive it by asking their vendors for products that support VMAN in their particular virtualized environment.
