What is DMI?
Desktop Management Interface (DMI) is a new method of managing computers in an enterprise. The main component of DMI is the Management Information Format Database or MIF. This database contains all the information about the computing system and its components. Using DMI, a system administrator can obtain the types, capabilities, operations status, installation date, and other information about the system components. DMI implementation in operating system and management applications will provide users with real value through asset management, configuration management, real-time monitoring and control capabilities that will reduce overall management frustration and costs.

What are the purposes of implementing DMI?

•Provide technology which enables vendors to easily add management to their products.
•Provide technology which enables all types of applications to access information and manage the products installed in PCs.
•Provide management, ease of use and control to PC systems, both networked and stand alone.
