Have you identified a standards body to submit the draft specification to?
The final determination hasn't been made.
A major selling point for vendors with a CMDB is how easily it integrates with their own management products. If a strong federation standard emerges, how will they distinguish themselves?
The customer problems we want to solve aren't low-level issues of how to wire the data together; it's higher-value problems. This standard is to avoid reinventing the wheel every time someone wants to pull data from a repository.
Vendors will compete on the quality of implementation, the value-add built on top of the federated data. Just because there's a standard with a common interface, there won't be exact clones of products. To the extent that people can manage a greater set of data and take advantage with more automated processes, that's where we'll see the competition.

AI may force enterprises to rewire parts of their data centers so they are fully optimized to run such workloads. The question is do you use Ethernet or InfiniBand?
