Excerpt: Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) is a set of systems management technologies developed to unify the management of distributed computing environments. WBEM is based on Internet standards and Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) open standards: Common Information Model (CIM) infrastructure and schema, CIM-XML, CIM operations over HTTP, and WS-Management. Although the name refers to WBEM as being "Web-Based," it is not necessarily tied in any way to a particular user interface (see below). Other systems management approaches are remote shells, proprietary solutions and network management architectures like SNMP. Key features of WBEM technology include: To understand the WBEM architecture, consider the components which lie between the operator trying to manage a device (configure it, turn it off and on, collect alarms, etc.) and the actual hardware and software of the device: So, which pieces of this does a device manufacturer or service provider have to write? This is normally done by extending as necessary one of the standard models published by the DMTF. The client and server usually do not need to be written because there are many open-source and commercial implementations available (see External links below) In summary, the WBEM architecture allows the manufacturer of a device or developer of a service to provide a standards-compliant management interface to that device simply and cheaply. ...More: http: //booksllc.net/?id=137520
