WfM
Wired for management. A specification developed by Intel to improve the
manageability of desktop, mobile, and server computers. WfM defines
software, hardware, and other capabilities that enhance computer network
operations and reduce support costs by allowing remote management
application programs to access client computers over a network. WfM
technology is used in a client computer, in such components as circuitry,
power supply, network adapter , and so on. Remote management application
programs can use WfM technology to access a client computer and gather
information about it, monitor its status, or change its operational state. WfM
standards include DMI , PXE , and Remote Wake Up . WfM is also compatible
with current and emerging industry specifications, such as ACPI , CIM ,
SMBIOS , SNMP , and WBEM .
