The DMTF recently published the latest release of the Common Information Model (CIM) Schema, version 2.45. This widely used standard provides a common definition of management information for systems, networks, applications and services, and allows for extensions.

With this release, DMTF continues its cadence of releasing CIM schema every four months. CIM 2.45 includes ongoing improvements to support DMTF Profiles and Management Initiatives. Working closely with DMTF Alliance Partner SNIA, this release specifically implements over 250 change requests, which are mostly focused on the final storage model classes.
