本文介绍虚拟化基础设施管理(VIM)工具如何通过集中化的管理模块来协调服务器硬件资源，实现虚拟服务器实例的创建与迁移。VIM能够管理跨多个物理服务器的虚拟IT资源，并提供包括创建、存储、备份、打补丁及监控在内的集中式管理。

Virtual Infrastructure Manager

Virtualized IT resource management is often supported by virtualization infrastructure management (VIM) tools that collectively manage virtual IT resources and rely on a centralized management module, otherwise known as a controller, that runs on a dedicated computer. VIMs are commonly encompassed by the resource management system.

The VIM coordinates the server hardware so that virtual server instances can be created from the most expedient underlying physical server. It can be used to manage a range of virtual IT resources across multiple physical servers, and provides for centralized administration of virtualized resources including creating, storing, backing up, patching and monitoring.

As an example, a VIM can create and manage multiple instances of a hypervisor across different physical servers, and can move a virtual server from one physical server to another.

Figure 1 shows a resource management system encompassing a VIM platform and a virtual machine image repository. The VIM may have additional repositories, including one dedicated to storing operational data.
