The DMTF's CDM Forum is dedicated to uniting the computer industry on a single interoperable interface to all system diagnostics.
The Common Diagnostic Model (CDM) specification is widely used within the industry to evaluate the health of hardware systems in multi-vendor environments. The CDM Forum will extend these capabilities by helping deliver additional compatibility in cross-platform system diagnostics through the CDM Conformance programs.
CDM creates diagnostic instrumentation that can be utilized by platform management applications, and its tight synergy with the other models in the DMTF’s Common Information Model (CIM) enables further integration of diagnostics into critical management functions. By developing the CDM Certification Program, the, the CDM Forum will provide new levels of interoperability to help drive automation in support of end users’ grid and utility computing objectives.
