Enterprise Management

The Enterprise Management Forum works to develop a common manageability infrastructure that can be used by both applications developers and management system vendors to create an open management environment in which complex solutions can be constructed without artificial barriers to their management. The Forum provides both specifications and open source reference implementations to enable the creation of such environments, along with applicable test suites and certification programs.

   

What we do
Within the Forum, customers, independent software vendors and system vendors work in collaboration with other standards organizations to determine requirements, provide direction and prioritization, and create standards in the areas of:

Application Quality/Resource Management (AQRM)
The management of applications across infrastructure components including the network, servers, storage and the data center.

OpenPegasus
An open source implementation of the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) Common Information Model (CIM) and Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) standards.
