Imagine configuring a set of &nbsp;hardware devices from different vendors&nbsp;(like&nbsp; network switches)&nbsp;using a set of PowerShell cmdlets &#8211; that&#8217;s what DAL&nbsp;would bring to you. Basically, a<span style=\"font-size: small\"><span><span>ny<\/span> device or server &nbsp;that implements standard protocol and &nbsp;schema can be managed from standard compliant tools like <span>PowerShell<\/span>. A big blocker for IHVs to adopt was availability of a portable and high performance&nbsp;CIM+WsMan server that they can easily port to their devices. This gap has been filled by OMI. &nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small\">This is cool&nbsp; and we are so excited about it. Jeffrey Snover did a technology demonstration at TechEd Europe in which he used PowerShell to manage a <\/span><span style=\"font-size: small\">base-motherboard controller on a server, a Windows operating system, and an Arista switch running OMI.
