A Virtualized Infrastructure Manager (VIM) is a telco cloud platform that provides full lifecycle control over your NFV infrastructure. At HCLTech, our VIM gives service providers centralized visibility and management of both physical and virtual resources—compute, storage and networking—within a single, unified OpenStack-based environment.

Yes. Our VIM automates Day N operations, including scaling compute or storage resources in or out, applying software updates and managing OpenStack upgrades. This significantly reduces operational overhead, allowing your teams to focus on higher-value network management tasks rather than routine, time-consuming infrastructure maintenance.

Yes. Beyond virtual resource management, our VIM maintains a live inventory and allocation plan that also covers physical infrastructure. This unified approach to virtual infrastructure management means you always have an accurate, real-time view of both your hardware assets and the virtual workloads running on top of them.

HCLTech VIM provides centralized logging for both hosts and OpenStack services. Rather than chasing logs across multiple systems, your teams get a consolidated view that simplifies troubleshooting, accelerates root cause analysis and supports the audit and compliance requirements common in telecom infrastructure management environments.

We include pre-packaged data-plane validation via VMTP, alongside NFVBench for performance testing. These built-in tools allow teams to validate throughput, latency and overall data plane behavior against defined benchmarks—giving service providers confidence that their telco cloud platform performs as expected under real network conditions.

We simplify Day 0 deployments through automated OpenStack cloud provisioning, eliminating much of the manual configuration that traditionally slows teams down. Our VIM follows a structured NFVI architecture and installation process, meaning service providers can stand up their telco cloud environment faster, with fewer errors and greater consistency from the start.

Absolutely. HCLTech VIM supports multi-site management and monitoring through integrated insights and VIM MON capabilities. Whether you are managing a handful of regional deployments or a large, distributed telco cloud footprint, we give you the centralized visibility you need to maintain consistent performance and control across every site.

We use CloudPulse, a built-in monitoring tool that continuously checks control plane health and API endpoint availability. This gives operations teams early warning of potential issues before they impact services—a critical capability in any production telco cloud environment where uptime and reliability are non-negotiable.

Our VIM is built on OpenStack architecture, enabling service providers to deploy a flexible, consistent and custom-specified private cloud. This proven foundation supports network core cloud deployments, giving telecom operators the scalability and openness they need to support evolving 5G solutions and NFV orchestration requirements.

Yes. HCLTech VIM is purpose-built for network core cloud deployment. From its OpenStack foundation to its automation, monitoring and validation toolset, every capability is designed to meet the demanding performance, reliability and scalability requirements of telecom infrastructure management at the network core.
