The Small Footprint CIM Broker is a CIM server (or CIMOM) like OpenPegasus or OpenWBEM, but is targeted at resource-constrained environments. A CIMOM manages communication between providers, which interact with the hardware, and a CIM client, where the administrator manages the system. SFCB supports CMPI-style providers, such as those in the SBLIM project. The SBLIM project is a collection of tools designed to support Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM).
