PORTLAND, Ore.–(BUSINESS WIRE <http://www.businesswire.com/> )–The Distributed Management Task Force, Inc. <http://www.dmtf.org/> (DMTF®), the industry organization leading the development, adoption and promotion of interoperable management standards and initiatives, today announced it has achieved a major technology milestone. Its Server Management Command Line Protocol (SM CLP) specification, a key component of DMTF’s Systems Management Architecture for Server Hardware (SMASH) initiative, has been approved as an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) InterNational Committee for Information Technology Standards (INCITS) standard. DMTF will continue to work with INCITS to submit the new ANSI standard to the International Standards Organization/International Electrotechnical Commission (ISO/IEC) Joint Technical Committee 1 (JTC 1) for approval as an international standard.

The INCITS Executive Board recently approved the SM CLP standard, which has been designated ANSI INCITS 438-2008. INCITS is accredited by ANSI, the organization that oversees the development of American National Standards by accrediting the procedures of standards-developing organizations, such as INCITS. Accreditation by ANSI signifies that the procedures used by the standards body in connection with the development of American National Standards meet the Institute’s essential requirements for openness, balance, consensus and due process.

Check out these developments from the DMTF organization. The evolution of systems management has to be a good thing, and anything we can do to develop standards within this arena can only be a good thing. I’ll need to read up more.
