The OSI Network Managment Forum has delivered its Omnipoint 1 reference model for builders of integrated management products: Omnipoint is a set of standards, specifications and technologies that were created by a broad coalition and it is referenced in the US government’s Network Management Profile, soon to be included in government procurement guidelines in the UK; among the technologies lurking in there are CMIP/X.700, SNMP, work from X/Open Co Ltd and the Object Management Group; the specifications are due to be published formally in October, and the idea is that systems that conform to the Omnipoint specs will be able to interwork.
