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:
“A clergyman, again, can hardly ever allow himself to look facts fairly in the face. It is his profession to support one side; it is impossible, therefore, for him to make an unbiased examination of the other.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
