xIM is an open software development platform for the testing and monitorintg of computing resources and complex systems that
is based on new state of the art standards for systems management
being pioneered at the DMTF, IETF, and OASIS. xIM is a monitoring platform for distributed resources, an integration
infrastructure through which high level systems may monitor
computing resources, and a testing platform.
xIM leverages modern open source software components like
MySQL, Java, Tomcat, Struts, Quartz, and Spring, is capable
of managing millions of objects, and is extensible such that
new subsystems and management protocols may be easily integrated
with the platform. The vision for xIM is to provide IT consumers and vendors a nucleus for the evolution of multi-vendor mission critical enteprise management solutions. xIM is a key component of the roll out
of an Enterprise Management Bus within an enterprise or complex
system.
xIM is at the core of all the products, tools, and infrustructure
built at Olocity and customizable for use in any complex control
system or enterprise computing environment.
The illustration below more completely depicts the functional
components of the xIM architecture including the complete
list of software services utilized in the design. The breakthrough
associated with the architecture is not only associated with the CIM industry standard model at its core but the open source based technology leveraged. This enables extreemly rapid integration of new subsystems (models and protocols).
The complete open source modules used in the xIM architecture
are listed below including their associated open source licenses.
