Web-based Enterprise
Management /
Common Information
Model (WBEM/CIM)
The DMTF has recently replaced DMI with the Web-based Enterprise Management (WBEM) and
Common Information Model (CIM) standards for system management. WBEM/CIM defines an
object-based, client/server model. In the WBEM/CIM model, clients send requests for data about
managed devices to the CIM object manager server which forwards those requests to providers
for the specific devices. The providers return the requested data to the clients through the CIM
object manager. The clients can also subscribe for indications about events that occur in the
system.

Intelligent Platform
Management Interface (IPMI)
IPMI is an embedded management specification for servers, storage devices, and other network
devices. It defines a common and secure interface for monitoring system voltages, temperature,
and fan speeds through the use of embedded monitors. It is designed to directly control system
components while permitting remote system management and recovery of failed systems.
