Recap on MMS 2008

DMTF recently sponsored the 2008 Microsoft Management Summit (MMS), held April 28-May 2 Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. We held a booth at the event to highlight two key DMTF technologies: Desktop and mobile Architecture for System Hardware (DASH) and Systems Management Architecture for Server Hardware (SMASH) initiatives. DMTF built momentum in its core area of management standards and initiatives by announcing that the WS-Management standard went Final, and by showcasing DASH implementations at the booth with two member company demos: AMD and HP/Broadcom.

We’d like to thank our booth staff for running the booth: Bob Blair and Valerie Kane from AMD, Simon Assouad from Broadcom, and Josh Cohen from Microsoft. We couldn’t have had a successful event without your help.
