With an aggressive development schedule, DMTF’s recently announced Platform Management Components Intercommunication (PMCI) Security Task Force has published its plans and scope of work. The group intends to produce a new PMCI security specification in the next three months.

DMTF and The Gen-Z Consortium (Gen-Z) have formed an alliance to help ensure the two organizations’ standards are coordinated and aligned. Gen-Z is an open-systems interconnect designed to provide memory-semantic access to data and devices via direct-attached, switched or fabric topologies.

DMTF has formed a new Security Task Force within its Platform Management Components Intercommunication (PMCI) Working Group. As work in the new PMCI Security Task Force begins, early participation is encouraged to help shape the scope of these efforts on expedited deliverables.
