Common Information Model Simplified Policy Language (CIM-SPL) Standard


CIM-SPL provides a standard language for writing system management policies based on CIM profiles, enabling IT personnel to more effectively manage their computing resources. CIM-SPL can be used with any CIM-based implementation, including those comprising DMTF’s DASH, SMASH and VMAN initiatives.

With CIM-SPL, management applications using CIM can add-on the CIM policy engine to automatically control and configure parts of the IT domain. This enables IT administrators to automate their departments using CIM-SPL without the need to engage and manage additional resources, saving time and money.

Using CIM-SPL, IT administrators can:

  • Define rules and allocate resources within their computing systems
  • Provide a foundation for automated systems management in distributed environments
  • Support more efficient systems management

The DMTF welcomes feedback on our standards, but requires that individuals submitting comments first agree to our DMTF Feedback Policy.
