Sourceforge announces the release of SBLIM, the Standards Based Linux Instrumentation for Manageability 1.3.0, otherwise pronounced ’sublime.’ This project bears watching as it is an IBM-initiated open source project. It is intended to enhance the manageability of Linux systems by enabling WBEM, the Web Based Enterprise Manager.

WBEM is a set of systems management technologies developed to unify the management of distributed computing environments. It is based on Internet standards and DMTF open standards: CIM infrastructure and schema, CIM-XML, CIM operations over HTTP, WS-Management.
