An industry consortium, the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) fpr development, adoption, and promotion of interoperable enterprise and systems management standards. Its goal is to enable non-proprietary industry standard interfaces for system manageability, which allow the ecosystem of computer architectures to move away from proprietary interfaces. Products compliant with a DTMF architecture, however, can have widely different manufacturing technologies and cost-performance.

It has more than 4,000 active participants representing 44 countries and nearly 200 entities, including AMD, [[Broadcom, Dell, EMC, Fujitsu, Hitachi, HP, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Novell]], Sun Microsystems, Symantec, and WBEM Solutions

Its scope has gone beyond traditional servers and workstations standards into desktop and mobile clients (DASH) and for servers (SMASH).
