The DMTF recently published the latest release of the Common Information Model (CIM) Schema, version 2.49. This widely-used standard provides a common definition of management information for systems, networks, applications and services.

DMTF continues to regularly update the CIM schema multiple times each year, helping ensure the standard remains up-to-date to address the latest industry needs. Working closely with the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA), a DMTF Alliance Partner, many changes in CIM 2.49 focus on the storage model classes.

Visit the DMTF website to learn more about CIM. To download the .zip files for the latest version – as well as individual UML Diagrams – please visit the CIM Schema, version 2.49 page.
