Ten major IT vendors including Microsoft and IBM on Monday released a draft of a new specification, the service modeling language, which they claim will make it easier for customers to manage their heterogenous systems.
SML provides a consistent way to describe system information about computer networks, applications, servers and other IT resources including services in extensible markup language, according to Kirill Tatarinov, corporate vice president of Microsoft's Windows enterprise management division.
