ezCIM SDK is a CIM/SMI-S provider development framework that is built with the following goals.

• Solve the computing resources and CIMOM embedding issues - bundle all layers together or distribute them based on the device capability.
• Develop and deploy the management instrumentation code that is insulated from the choice of CIMOM, deployment of CIMOM and changes in the CIMOM software.
• Leverage existing proprietary/SNMP management instrumentation code easily by separating out the CIMOM and HTTP/XML related processing from the integration of the management instrumentation.

Base Functionality of ezCIM:

• Proxy infrastructure
  • Proxy Providers – Instance, Association, Method and Indication 
  • Persistence Database/Repository 
  • Flexible Message Transport 
  • Event Handling with 
    • Generic SNMP trap generation 
    • Threshold indication generation 
    • Life cycle indication generation 
  • Multi-threaded Agent Framework 
  • Messaging or function table based MI integration 
• Proxy & CIMOM interface Code Generator 
  • SMI-S profiles, sub-profiles and packages 
  • Any set of CIM classes or proprietary classes 
  • Automatic integration into the Proxy Infrastructure 
• OpenPegasus CIMOM integration

Operational environment of ezCIM:

• Proxy part along with the OpenPegasus CIMOM
  • Linux 
  • HP-UX 
  • AIX 
  • SOLARIS 
  • Windows 2000, XP and 2003
• Agent part along with the OpenPegasus CIMOM
  • Same as the Proxy part 
  • Many other popular RTOSes with minor customization effort  

Development environment of ezCIM:

• Operating System
  • Linux 
  • Windows 2000, XP and 2003
• Languages
  • C, C++ 
  • C, C++ are chosen keeping in mind the need of the embedded environment
• Compiler
  • GNU for all the operational environment
  • Visual Studio .NET is also usable for Windows environment
  • ezCIM agent part is written in portable C, C++ and could be built under other compilers
