ABSTRACT
The Storage Network Industry, which has adopted the standards enthusiastically-see, for example, the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) Web site (https://www.snia. org/home). Roger Reich, a Director of SNIA, has said, “The SNIA has set a goal that all new storage networking products will utilize the SMI-S standard in 2005. Our recent announcements demonstrate that the SNIA is accelerating down the path to making this goal a reality.” SMI-S, which used to be known as Bluefin, is an implementa-
tion of the WBEM/CIM architecture. The Global Grid Forum, concerned with the establishment
of standards for Grid Computing, has defined CIM models for its services: see their Web site (https://www.globalgridforum. org/1_GIS/CIM.htm).
