DMTF Technology Showcase at EMW
While you're at EMW, plan to attend the DMTF Technology
Showcase, where we'll spotlight current work from the DMTF, SNIA, The Open Group and several
vendors implementing standards from the DMTF and its Alliance Partners. You won't want to miss this
leading-edge standards demonstration geared for both technology
developers and end users of distributed management products. The robust showcase features 12
demonstrations in five standards technology areas:
-
Industry CIM/WBEM Servers -- Developers -- Engineering architects looking for a
CIM/WBEM Server with the core functionality of CIM Object Manager (CIMOM) can compare and contrast three leading projects. Servers and their
associated tools included in the assessment are The Open Group's
Pegasus Project, the OpenWBEM Project, and WBEM Solutions' J Server.
- SNIA - Storage
Management Initiative Specification (SMI-S) - End Users and Developers - SNIA will
demonstrate Storage Resource Management applications with the SMI-S standard, managing a
heterogeneous SAN of storage arrays and switches that are located in the Colorado-based SNIA
Technology Center. SMI-S is underway for ANSI and ISO approval, and currently more than 100
SNIA-CTP-certified products in the marketplace support the standard.
- SNIA Conformance Test Program (CTP) - End Users and Developers -- See the SNIA CTP test suite in action! Developers
will learn what the program tests and how it works, and end users will discover why their RFPs
should require the certification. The SNIA-CTP is an integral step toward bringing third-party
standards conformance to the marketplace.
- DMTF CIM Certification Program - Developers -- Meet the test suite developers and
find out how MOFs are tested, how to read printed test results, and how to provide requirements for
new iterations of the test. The CIM
certification program facilitates the development and market availability of MOFs that meet
DMTF specification.
The fifth demonstration is unannounced, and will be unveiled at the conference, so don't miss
out! Be sure to stop by the DMTF Technology Showcase at EMW to see the latest management
technologies in action.
