Learn about the xIM Architecture

StorageIM

StorageIM: Is an open source monitoring and reporting tool for storage systems and storage networks built around the CIM/SMI-S industry standards and is designed for use as a development aid within the IT vendor community. StorageIM is the first storage configuration and resource monitoring tool in the industry to be built with these rapidly emerging standards as its core (to obtain access to the SMI-S industry standard please consult the Resources section of this web site). As a result StorageIM supports HBAs, Arrays, Switches, and Tape Libraries across vendor’s products 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.

Because the StorageIM design highly leverages the software resources of the opensource community as well as industry standards like SMI-S it is designed to be a nucleus for the evolution of storage management technology for IT consumers and the vendor community.
