Updates to reflect current status
Updated the incubator section to reflect current status of Open Cloud Standards Incubator, and added Software License Management Incubator. Also updated description of OVF to mention that OVF was adopted by ANSI. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IT1984 (talk • contribs) 16:46, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

I wanted to point out that the OVF standard is the Open Virtualization Format, rather than the Open Virtualization Machine Format. This is seen on both the OVF spec from DMTF (http://www.dmtf.org/standards/published_documents/DSP0243_1.0.0.pdf) and the VMware website (http://www.vmware.com/appliances/learn/ovf.html). I went ahead and made the edit. VirtualizationGuru (talk) 18:40, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

@VirtualizationGuru: Correct. The corresponding article has now also been renamed accordingly. Gandalf44 (talk) 01:34, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Added link to DASH
The DASH wiki page was deleted in April 2008. Since there is no longer a wiki page, I lined the DASH content to the DMTF Web site. http://www.dmtf.org/initiatives/dash_initiative/

Added link to ASF
The Alert Standard format had another broken link. I linked it to the ASF page on the DMTF Web site.

Updated members list in the overview section
I updated the Overview section with the more up-to-date members list. I used the "About DMTF" page on the DMTF Web site http://www.dmtf.org/about/.

New Cloud Computing Incubator
I made an addition to the page. I added in a new section that will include the new Cloud Computing Incubator that was just announced today. I made the section name incubators. Is there a better title for this section?

Here is the link to that announcement: http://www.dmtf.org/newsroom/pr/view?item_key=aa9aec43563e9654b8d7eb4fe9c62bad25548aef

And here is the link to the DMTF cloud page: http://www.dmtf.org/about/cloud-incubator

VirtualizationGuru (talk) 19:20, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

updated the About section of the page
After reading through the about section of the Wiki page, I felt like it needed to be cleaned up a little bit to make it more accurate. The changes are fairly minor.

Added the CMDBf standard to the standards section.
DMTF Announced this week the release of their new CMDBf standard. I added a link and content under the standards section.

Here is a link to that announcement: http://www.dmtf.org/newsroom/pr/view?item_key=472e5d458546fb1434940fd23458ed74f9dce596

RFC regarding new page content, major edit
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 Inc., Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Hitachi, Ltd., HP Inc., Intel Corporation, Lenovo, NetApp, Software AG, Vertiv and VMware.[1]

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.

Standards

DMTF standards include:

CADF - Cloud Auditing Data Federation

CIMI - Cloud Infrastructure Management Infrastructure

CIM - Common Information Model

DASH - Desktop & Mobile Architecture for System Hardware WS-Management was adopted as an international standard by ISO/IEC in 2013.[4]

MCTP - Management Component Transport Protocol Including NVMe-MI™, I2C/SMBus and PCIe® Bindings

NC-SI - Network Controller Sideband Interface

OVF - Open Virtualization Format OVF Adopted by the American National Standards Institute in August 2010.[6] OVF was adopted as an International Standard in August 2011 by the Joint Technical Committee 1 (JTC 1) of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).[2]

PLDM - Platform Level Data Model Including Firmware Update, Redfish Device Enablement (RDE)

Redfish – Including Protocols, Schema, Host Interface, Profiles

SMASH - System Management Architecture for Server Hardware SM-CLP was adopted as an International Standard in August 2011 by the Joint Technical Committee 1 (JTC 1) of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).[2]
