Desktop and mobile Architecture for System Hardware (DASH) is a Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) standard.

Version, DASH 1.1, was published in December 2007 and became a DMTF standard in June 2009.

The DMTF Common Information Model (CIM) schema defines the supported DASH management data and operations.

The web services expose a common set of operations for system management: Discovery of access points is a two phase process: DASH management protocols layers include: The DMTF CIM Profiles supported by the DASH 1.1 specification:[1] The DMTF CIM Profiles supported by the DASH 1.2 specification:[2] DASH is designed for desktop and mobile computer systems; a related DMTF standard for management of server computer systems is the Systems Management Architecture for Server Hardware (SMASH), with a similar set of CIM Profiles.

Intel Active Management Technology is a compliant implementation of DASH.
