Learn about the xIM Architecture

VirtualIM

VirtualM: Is a monitoring tool for server virtualization systems and high availability clustering technology being designed around the new CIM based management interface standard developed by the virtualization community and donated to the DMTF. VirtualIM is intended for use by the IT Vendor community for developing management solutions. The internal object model in VirtualIM mirrors the object model of the specification being augmented by the Clustering, Virtualization, and Partitioning Work Group of the DMTF. VirtualIM is the first cluster/virtualization configuration and resource monitoring tool in the industry to be built upon this emerging industry standard. As a result VirtualIM will support virtualization and clustering products across the vendor community with a high degree of interoperability and reliability. StorageIM uses the highly scalable xIM architecture as its core and thus, can be rapidly expanded with new capabilities.

VirtualIM is being designed to inform you of problems before your clients, end-users or managers do. The monitoring daemon runs intermittent checks on services you specify using "plugins" which return status information. Status information, historical logs, and reports can all be accessed via any web browser. VirtualIM IM currently supports VMware ESX server technology and is being expanded to include other open source and proprietary products.
