Web Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) is systems management architecture initiative to unify the management of enterprise computing environments. WBEM allows the industry to deliver a set of standard-based management tools related to XML.
The architecture has been standardised by the Distributed Management Task Force (previously the Desktop Management Task Force) — the DMTF. They have developed a core set of standards that make up WBEM, which includes a data model, the Common Information Model (CIM) standard.
The architecture is independent of the device being managed and has been applied to devices as diverse as IP Routers, Electrical Power Distribution Systems, Private Branch Exchanges (PBXs), Desktop Computers, Printers, and Storage Servers. SMI-S is based on WBEM standard.
