Remotely Managing DMI 2.0 PCs

With DMI 2.0, communications between DMI clients and the DMI

management console rely on Remote Procedure Call (RPC). RPC is

deployed on all desktop operating systems today. This permits

management applications to reside either locally (on the managed

desktop) or remotely (on the management platform). RPCs allow the

same APIs to be used transparently, regardless of whether the source

and destination are co-located and regardless of the underlying

communication media.

In a logical representation, the desktop's Service Provider (formerly

Service Layer) extends to the management console. Again, RPCs allow

communication between processes to be established, whatever their

location and whatever their type.

RPCs are handled directly by the operating system. This makes it easier

for DMI developers to develop new applications; the communication

process does not matter to them. This provides wider interoperability.
