      <title>Comment on DMTF's DASHing initiative By Phil Chidester</title>
      <description><![CDATA[ Jim, 

Here is the link to DSP2014 :

http://www.dmtf.org/standards/mgmt/dash

The industry feels that the proprietary AMT solution is not the way to go. DASH will provide a standards based solution that is far superior to ASF 2.0 which is currently is not used much and is not reliable and secure. In the future (i.e beyond DASH 1.0) DASH is planned to have enhanced features based on a WS-MAN / CIM model and Intel, Dell, HP, IBM, and more are on board.

Regards,

Phil Chidester ]]></description>

We definitely appreciate the extensive and fine support received to date. Our company will build an interface to DASH as well; however, I question the need for DASH when ASF does what it will do send alerts. I further assert that alerts are a small piece of the management of computers. A larger piece is being addressed by Intel's AMT by providing access to system to correct the BIOS, run a Windows system in safe mode, a Linux system in single user mode,( obviating the need for a KVM or console server), run diagnostics or boot up a repair disk for Windows or Linux system. A company providing alerts and very limited access is doing the bare minimum to reduce Total Cost of Ownership. Intel's AMT has provided tools to greatly reduce TCO.

Have you found the document DSP0232 or Desktop and mobile Systems Management (DASH) Implementation Requirements, Version 1.0 that is referenced in the DASH specification DSP2014?

Thanks and keep up the innovative and comprehensive work of providing a meaningful and productive management interface! ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[ Jim,
DASH is also backed by Intel. Quote from http://www.tmcnet.com/usubmit/2007/03/22/2435885.htm

Intel 
"As a leader in industry standards for PC manageability for over two decades and as a founding member of the DMTF, Intel supports DASH as another advancement for IT as we move into the WS-Management era," said Gregory Bryant, vice president and general manager of Intel's Digital Office Platform Division. "Intel® vPro(TM) technology was originally designed to support a seamless transition to this new standard, and our 2007 product roadmap enables one of the industry's first DASH and WS-Management supported enterprise PCs through our next-generation Intel® vPro(TM) technology." 

And, I really don't think Mobile really got dropped from the acronym .. it is still Desktop and mobile Architecture for System Hardware (DASH) Initiative. I guess DASH is better sounding than DMASH -- not sure :), but mobile client standards are going to be a big part of DASH (from what I understand).

I am glad to hear that the code availability of HECI/LMS will really help you with your porting efforts. 

Thanks for your continued interest in Intel AMT. We will help you in what way we can to support your efforts. Thanks again. ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[ If Intel were to support our effort to port the AMT libraries and DTK to Solaris x86, IBM Linux and AIX Intel based platforms, HP's HPUX, OpenVMS Intel based platforms as well as other Intel based Linux platforms, they would have a very strong case for adopting AMT as the defacto standard for "lights out management" interface for most systems found in today's multi-vendor compute centers. 

Supporting these operating platforms also clearly places AMT in a position to provide the same great class of management service for the compute resource spectrum of multiple vendors operating platforms or servers, desktops and mobile devices. Mobile devices will have the Santa Rosa WIFI AMT.

The code availability of HECI and LMS on April 2nd on http://openamt.org provides the source code so we commit to implement those on the above named operating platforms.

AMT is re-evolution of remote management to the highest degree!

AMT rules, DASH drools ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[ DASH appears to be an AMD initiative backed by DELL to address the significant shortfall AMD has in addressing Total Cost of Ownership by providiing operating platform vendor independent remote management. 

I am not certain why we need yet another alert mechanism given the sizable installed base of Alert Standard Format (ASF); i would propose continued use of ASF and define a mechanism to send those alerts to WSMAN via a software function on a management server receiving the ASF PET alerts. I believe that adding hardware inventory is easily added to ASF or at least more easily than developing a brand new alert protocol mechanism like DASH. 

 Alerts are good to have, however, the response to alerts options provided under AMT are just what is needed to significantly reduce TCO. AMT lets you run diagnostics remotely or gain access to the desktop via VNC or RDP via port numbers redirected thru the AMT if the system is in single user mode or safe mode.

The DASH press stories and documents I read suggest that having the alerts allows the maintenance folks to respond with the right repair kit; this statement assumes that hardware needs to be replaced and wouldn't it be better to have the ability to run diagnostics remotely under AMT. DASH does not appear to have this facility or the ability to do virtual storage.

 DASH looks like a techno-politcal marketing protocol babble CYA for DELL and AMD such that AMD has somewhat of a story for providing remote management; however, DASH is not implemented and AMT is and AMT provides so much more than DASH. DASH also ignores the presence of ASF, oh yeah, I said that already.

The test tool kit for DASH appears to leave a bit to be desired: http://www.openwsman.org/wiki/OpenTestMan as it requires cygwin to run under windows and is a well crafted bash shell program; the AMT DTK is far more sophisticated.

 
I am not sure why mobile got dropped from the the acronym DASH, are you? 

I have not been able to find this document DSP0232 or Desktop and mobile Systems Management (DASH) Implementation Requirements, Version 1.0 that is referenced in the DASH specification DSP2014 ]]></description>
