Web Based Enterprise Management
Web-Based Enterprise Management ( WBEM ) is a collective term for a set of standard functions for the administration and remote maintenance of computer systems in managed environments . WBEM was specified by the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) and is independent of the hardware platform and the operating system .
Core functionalities
- Interfaces for access to the WBEM infrastructure using WWW technologies.
- WBEM infrastructure (operations, events, query language, ...)
- High-level language access methods to managed objects, such as the CIM Query Language for querying information from the CIM.
- Common Information Model (CIM)
There are different WBEM implementations as well as different CIM implementations, such as Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). Management tools from various manufacturers are based on this.
