| Storage Management Application
The purpose of the CIMOM project is to provide a storage management application with improved management tools, better interoperability, and virtualization across multiple vendors.
CIMOM (Common Information Model Object Manager) is a server which allows operating information represented as CIM objects using Web Based Enterprise Management. It includes repository to store an object definition and object static instances, cooperates with providers to manage object dynamic instances, and sends asynchronous events to a client.
Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) is a set of management and Internet standard technologies developed to unify the management of distributed computing environments. WBEM provides management of systems, networks, users and applications across multiple vendor environments. It simplifies system management, providing better access to both software and hardware data that is readable by WBEM compliant applications and provides the ability for the industry to deliver a well-integrated set of standard-based management tools, facilitating the exchange of data across otherwise disparate technologies and platforms.
With a CIM, storage infrastructure components have a standard interface. Its software, at all levels, can discover and use to manage those components. This reduces the amount of specialized code within the management application. The management solutions can innovate more quickly. Such innovation is being directed, in many cases, towards increasing automation of storage administration tasks.
The product is combinable with Storage Management Initiative Specification (SMI-S) developed by Storage Network Industrial Association (SNIA).
