WS-Management

WS-Management is a specification of a protocol, based on Web Services, for the management of servers, devices, applications and more. The specification was published in March 2005 by a group of companies, including Microsoft, Intel, Dell and more.

The specification is quite rich, supporting much more than get/set of simple variables, and in that it is closer to WBEM than to SNMP. A mapping of the DMTF-originated Common Information Model into WS-Management was also defined.
