AMD pushes IT automation – SIMFIRE
Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD) released a software tool Monday that could allow hardware and software vendors to meet a new industry standard for IT management and security.
Technology vendors can use AMD’s SIMFIRE to test whether their products meet a standard called DASH, for desktop and mobile architecture for system hardware. The Distributed Management Task Force Inc. unveiled the new DASH specification on Thursday as a replacement for the four-year-old Alert Standard Format (ASF). This jumble of acronyms is important to IT managers because the new standard will allow them to manage a diverse pool of corporate computing gear even if it includes desktops and notebooks made by various vendors, said Margaret Lewis, director of commercial solutions at AMD.
