  DMTF Makes a Splash with DASHThe DMTF recently announced the Desktop and mobile Architecture for System Hardware (DASH) Initiative – a forthcoming suite of specifications that takes full advantage of the DMTF’s Web Services for Management (WS-Management) specification – delivering standards-based Web services management for desktop and mobile client systems. The DASH Initiative is a breakthrough and will provide the next generation of standards for secure out-of-band and remote management of desktop and mobile systems. Full details of this Initiative are available in the newly released DASH White Paper, developed by the DMTF’s Desktop and Mobile Work Group (DMWG). Delivering a set of specifications that provides architectural semantics, industry standard protocols and a set of profiles, the DASH Initiative will standardize the secure management of desktop and mobile systems independent of machine state, operating platform or vendor. By tapping into the power of WS-Management, which enables a common way for systems to access and exchange management information across the entire IT infrastructure, DASH integrates desktop and laptop management into an end-to-end management solution. In addition, DASH works in concert with the DMTF’s widely-implemented Common Information Model (CIM), so that it is easily incorporated into existing management environments. For more information on the DMTF’s new DASH Initiative, view the press release, which includes support from the industry’s leading vendors. |
