Implementing Support
So, which pieces of this does a device manufacturer or service provider have to write?
- Firstly the model.
- This is normally done by extending as necessary one of the standard models published by the DMTF.
- Then the BUI, GUI, or CLI.
- The client and server usually do not need to be written because there are many open-source and commercial implementations available (see External links below)
- Then the providers
- In summary, the WBEM architecture allows the manufacturer of a device or developer of a service to provide a standards-compliant management interface to that device simply and cheaply.

Famous quotes containing the word support:
“An ordinary man will work every day for a year at shoveling dirt to support his body, or a family of bodies; but he is an extraordinary man who will work a whole day in a year for the support of his soul. Even the priests, men of God, so called, for the most part confess that they work for the support of the body.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
