heterogeneous Storage Area Network (SAN), and describes the 
information available to a WBEM Client from an SMI-S compliant 
CIM Server and an object-oriented, XML-based, messaging-
based interface designed to support the specific requirements of 
managing devices in and through SANs. 

Developer support for SMI-S is available through the
