  • WBEM

Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) is a set of specifications published by DMTF that define how resources modeled using DMTF’s Common Information Model (CIM) can be discovered, accessed and manipulated. WBEM provides the ability for the industry to deliver a well-integrated set of standard-based management tools, facilitating the exchange of data across otherwise disparate technologies and platforms.

Open Source Projects using DMTF WBEM Technologies

DMTF technologies are leveraged in numerous third-party open source projects. If you are aware of any additional projects using DMTF technologies that are not included below, please contact us so we can add them to the list.
Open Source Project Description of Tool
Java CIMOM

This WBEM Services component listens for WBEM client requests for CIM operations. Requests on CIM class definitions are handled directly by the CIMOM.

Java WBEM Services

The WBEM Services project is an effort to develop an open-source Java™ implementation of Web Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) suitable for commercial and non-commercial application.

Open Linux Management Infrastructure (OpenLMI)

An open source project developing system management tools for Linux systems. The goal of the OpenLMI project is to develop a comprehensive set of tools to configure, manage and monitor remote servers, and to build a vibrant community of users and developers. We welcome new users and contributors.

OpenDRIM

The main goal of OpenDRIM is to develop "Distributed Resources Information Management" technologies and development environment based on CIM/WBEM standards of DMTF.

OpenPegasus

OpenPegasus™ is an open-source implementation of the DMTF CIM and WBEM standards. It is designed to be portable and highly modular.
