WBEM Web-Based Enterprise Management

Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) is a set of specifications published by DMTF that define how resources modeled using DMTF’s Common Information Model (CIM) can be discovered, accessed and manipulated. WBEM provides the ability for the industry to deliver a well-integrated set of standard-based management tools, facilitating the exchange of data across otherwise disparate technologies and platforms.
