Universal Intelligent Infrastructure Management (UIIM) is a management methodology and practice defined by RiT Tech to address the limitations of traditional data center infrastructure management. Rather than being a single software product, UIIM establishes principles, structures, and guidelines for integrating multiple specialized systems into a federated, intelligent infrastructure management environment.
