Chipmaker AMD has announced new open source interoperability testing and development tools to enable vendors to build interoperable solutions for DASH - a new web-services based desktop and mobile PC management standard announced last week.

The DASH initiative, announced last week by industry organization, Distributed Management Task Force, aims to deliver a set of specifications to standardize management of desktop and notebook systems independent of machine state, operating platform or vendor.

The ambitious DASH program aims to simplify network management by making all components of the network, both hardware and software, compliant with the standard.

The new tools from AMD, called SIMFIRE, are immediately available for vendors developing solutions for DASH.

"AMD recognizes that management interoperability is a core concern for end users, and we share our ecosystem partners' belief that this is best addressed through open standards like DASH," said Ben Williams, vice president, Commercial Strategy and Solutions.

"Management interoperability directly addresses the costs and complexity of IT management by providing a common way for systems to access and exchange management information across the entire IT infrastructure. This increases flexibility and choice for our customers, while helping them lower overall total cost of ownership and more effectively respond to business needs."{moscomment}
