Application Insight Modules (AIMs)

Application Insight Modules (AIMs) adds the capability to monitor and manage application-specific events and processes. AIMs are functional extensions to the SystemEDGE.

AIM for VMware vCenter Server

Provides capabilities to manage and monitor systems that are under VMware vCenter Server control. This AIM can run on any Windows system where SystemEDGE is installed. The AIM communicates with vCenter Server software to get an entire view of all ESX Servers that the associated VMware vCenter Server manages.

AIM for IBM PowerVM (LPARs)

Provides capabilities to manage and monitor the entire system, including LPARs. This AIM can run on any Windows system where SystemEDGE is installed. The AIM communicates with the HMC/IVM through a Secure Shell (SSH) connection, so that the AIM can communicate with the LPARs on POWER systems through the associated HMC/IVM system. Verify that SSH is enabled on the HMC/IVM system and on the Windows sever on which the AIM runs.

AIM for Microsoft Hyper-V

Provides capabilities to manage and monitor Microsoft Hyper-V environments. The SystemEDGE AIM for the Hyper-V server runs on the Hyper-V server.

AIM for Microsoft Cluster Services

Provides capabilities to monitor Microsoft clusters. This AIM can run on any Windows system where SystemEDGE is installed. The AIM communicates with Microsoft Cluster Service to get an entire view of the monitored clusters, nodes, services and applications.

AIM for Solaris Zones

Provides capabilities to manage and monitor Solaris 10 systems configured to run zones. This AIM can run on any Windows system where SystemEDGE is installed. The AIM communicates with the managed Solaris Zones Servers through SSH connections. Verify that SSH is enabled on the managed Solaris servers and on the Windows sever on which the AIM runs.

AIM for Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS)

CA Virtual Assurance interacts with Cisco UCS to query devices and collect statistics. Instead of managing resources as disparate systems, Cisco UCS unifies networking, hardware, storage, and virtualization resources into one cohesive system.

AIM for Service Response Monitor

Provides capabilities to monitor the health and responsiveness of services running on Windows, UNIX, or Linux servers.

AIM for Remote Monitoring

Provides capabilities to manage and monitor remote (agent-less) Windows systems.

AIM for Active Directory and Exchange Server
