A virtual infrastructure manager (VIM) is a software tool responsible for overseeing and coordinating virtualized resources within a data center, including virtual machines, storage, and networks. Its primary function is to efficiently allocate, monitor, and optimize these resources, ensuring agility and scalability in cloud computing environments.
The core offerings of a virtual infrastructure manager encompass both solutions and services. A VIM solution is software designed to centrally manage and optimize virtualized resources such as servers, storage, and networks in cloud or data center settings. These solutions can be deployed on-premises, as part of infrastructure as a service (IaaS), or in cloud-based environments. They cater to diverse end-users across industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, retail, telecom, and others.
