In an implementation or environment supporting WS-Eveneting there are three actors:
The Event Sink subscribes an interest with the Event Source by operation contract, such as Subscribe. Event Source is responsible for controlling the information that Event
Sinks are interested in. The event sink can be the receiving end and the initiator of a subscription, however it is also possible that the subscription comes from a seperate component.
WS-Management addresses the cost and complexity of IT management by providing a common way for systems to access and exchange management information across the entire IT infrastructure. By using Web services to manage IT systems, deployments that support WS-Management will enable IT managers to remotely access devices on their networks - everything from silicon components and handheld devices to PCs, servers and large-scale data centers.
Windows Remote Management is one component of Windows Hardware Management features that manage server hardware locally and remotely.
Openwsman supports the CIM data model using a special plugin which handles a CIM classes in a generic way. The mapping of the CIM data into WS-Management resources happens on the fly using the CIM binding guidelines published by the DMTF.
Currently the following features are supported:
The DMTF announced the public release of Version 1.1 of its Desktop and mobile Architecture for System Hardware (DASH) standard. Benefits of this updated standard include tightened security and protocol requirements for IT deployments.
