  Distributed Management Task Force - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF, formerly "Desktop Management Task Force") is a standards organisation that develops and maintains standards for systems management of IT environments in enterprises and the Internet.
The DMTF is organized in working groups where the participants jointly develop and maintain the standards.
Web Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) - Defines protocols for the interaction between systems management infrastructure components implementing CIM, a concept of DMTF management profiles that allows defining the behavior of the elements defined in the CIM Schema, the CIM Query Language (CQL) and other specifications needed for the interoperability of CIM infrastructure.

 Windows Management Instrumentation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) is a set of extensions to the Windows Driver Model that provides an operating system interface through which instrumented components can provide information and notification.
WMI is Microsoft's implementation of the Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) Standard from the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF).
The access to the manageable entities is made via a software component, called a “provider” which is nothing else than a DLL implementing a COM object written in C/C++ (See note at the end of this section).

 Management application programming, Part 1: Getting started with the FMA and Jiro
As a result, the station and the management facade must both be located on the same host on which the SCSI commands are required to run.
Management facades are created to represent components -- such as tape devices, networking infrastructure, storage units, and software -- to other components in the network.
Management policies leverage management facades, other management policies, and the available static services to achieve their purpose.

 Grid storage and open standards
When managing files, SRMs allocate space for files, invoke file transfer services to move files into the space, pin files for a certain lifetime, release files upon the client's request, and use file replacement policies to optimize the use of the shared space.
DMTF is the standards body for two key elements of grid storage strategy: The CIM Schema and the WS-CIM protocols for accessing that model.
This is necessary to manage a relatively stable model that is robust against various uses of the model.

 Server powers standardizing management | Tech News on ZDNet
Such tasks are handled differently from system to system, making it harder to create management software and keep it up-to-date, and difficult for one company's software package to control another company's servers.
Server companies expect management software to become even more important, with the arrival of new technologies such as thin-blade servers, with which remote administration is generally the only option.
Both SMI-S and the server standard are part of a general management framework from the task force called the Common Information Model.

 Happy Birthday DMTF!
Microsoft has been involved with the DMTF since its founding as the group's purpose was to create a standardized way to report the software and hardware in a DOS- and/or Windows-based workstation (10 years ago, the days of Windows 3.1, workstations had to have DOS if they ran Windows).
The problem was that networking hardware (servers, routers, hubs and switches) were manageable (as manageable as any hardware in 1992) through SNMP - but nothing had been done to implement SNMP for Wintel-based computers, it was mostly Unix hosts and midrange servers that were involved.
The other major acquisition for DMTF was the Directory Enabled Networks initiative, also begun by Microsoft and Cisco, which has led to better management of Windows-based networks over the past couple of years.

The scope of the defined managed objects should allow an NMS to interrogate a standard SNMP context and thereby discover what logical and physical entities exist, how to access the MIB information of each logical entity, and the relationships between the various entities.
The managed objects should provide sufficient information to allow a management workstation to navigate across a set of agents in order to learn the topology of arbitrarily large networks, and these objects should be as independent as possible from the specific underlying networking media which comprise the network.
