Overview

DMTF is a 501(c)(6) nonprofit industry standards organization that creates open manageability standards spanning diverse emerging and traditional IT infrastructures including cloud, virtualization, network, servers and storage. Member companies and alliance partners collaborate on standards to improve interoperable management of information technologies.

Based in Portland, Oregon, the DMTF is led by a board of directors representing technology companies including: Broadcom Inc., Cisco, Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Hitachi, Ltd., HP Inc., Intel Corporation, Lenovo, NetApp, and Software AG.

History

Founded in 1992 as the Desktop Management Task Force, the organization’s first standard was the now-legacy Desktop Management Interface (DMI). As the organization evolved to address distributed management through additional standards, such as the Common Information Model (CIM), it changed its name to the Distributed Management Task Force in 1999 , but is now known as, DMTF.

The DMTF continues to address converged, hybrid IT and the Software Defined Data Center (SDDC) with its latest specifications, such as the Redfish standard, SMBIOS and PMCI standards.

gollark: Effective and sane governance/decision making (and resource allocation, which is similar).
gollark: I just said.
gollark: We've seen that governments are often not very effective or competent.
gollark: I think there are significantly larger issues than climate change going on anyway. Such as, how do you make governance actually work well? If you can solve that many of the other things follow.
gollark: I mean, if it's profitable it would happen, but it doesn't seem to be since renewables are pushed harder and there's tons of bad nuclear regulation.
