Cisco Virtualized Infrastructure Manager (CVIM) is a fully automated cloud lifecycle management system. Cisco VIM helps to bring up a fully functional cloud in hours, with integrated end-to-end control and data plane verification in place. Cisco VIM offers fully automated day 1 to day n cloud lifecycle management. These include capabilities such as pod scaling (expansion), software update, upgrade, or reconfigure parameters, consolidated logging with rotation and export, software update and upgrade. These have been implemented in line with the operational and security best practices of service providers and enterprises.

Cisco Virtualized Infrastructure Manager (CVIM) abstracts much of the complexity of setting up and managing a cloud, providing a simple installation process along with a host of operational and validation tools. The integrated tools within CVIM allow operators to test reliability, scalability, and performance of the infrastructure, thereby optimizing their network resources and lifecycle management processes. 

CVIM is built for full lifecycle management of your software and hardware. It allows you to easily control and manage your NFV infrastructure (NFVI) compute, storage, and network resources.
