The Common Information Model Object Broker (often known as the CIM Information manager or CIMOM) brokers CIM objects between a number of sources and destinations. A CIM object should be a representation, or model, of a managed resource, such as a printer, disk drive, or central processing unit (CPU). In the Pegasus implementation, CIM objects are represented internally as C++ classes. The CIMOM transfers information between WBEM clients, the CIM Object Manager Repository, and managed resources.
