DMTF standards include:

<ul>

<li>'''[[Common Information Model (computing)|Common Information Model]]''' ('''CIM''') - The CIM [[Schema]] is a [[conceptual schema]] that defines how the managed elements in an IT environment (for instance [[Computer]]s or [[Storage area network|Storage Area Networks]]) are represented as a common set of [[Object (computer science)|objects]] and relationships between them. CIM is extensible in order to allow product specific extensions to the common definition of these managed elements. CIM uses a model based upon [[Unified Modeling Language|UML]] to define the CIM Schema. CIM is the basis for most of the other DMTF standards.

<li>'''[[Common Diagnostic Model]]''' ('''CDM''') - The CDM [[schema]] is a part of the CIM schema that defines how system diagnostics should be incorporated into the management infrastructure.

<li>'''[[WBEM|Web Based Enterprise Management]]''' ('''WBEM''') - Defines protocols for the interaction between systems management infrastructure components implementing CIM, a concept of DMTF management profiles that allows defining the behavior of the elements defined in the CIM Schema, the CIM Query Language (CQL) and other specifications needed for the interoperability of CIM infrastructure.

<li>'''[[Systems Management Architecture for Server Hardware]]''' ('''SMASH''') - Defines a [[Command line interface|command line]] protocol for interacting with CIM infrastructure, and DMTF management profiles for server hardware management.
