Distributed Management Task Force
Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF, formerly "Desktop Management Task Force") is an industry consortium that develops, supports, and maintains standards for systems management of PC systems and products, to reduce total cost of ownership. These include the Desktop Management Interface (DMI), the most-widely used management standard today.
The DMTF is participating in an industry effort to create a standard for management over the Internet called WBEM – for Web Based Enterprise Management. They are defining an object-oriented Common Information Model (CIM).
