Data centres with processing capacity to sell and corporations and individuals wanting to buy capacity will be able to install Zimory Manager on their virtualised servers and connect these to the global Zimory Marketplace: software operated by Zimory in its data centre that collects information about all available server resources and their status. Zimory Host is the basic entity of a Zimory infrastructure. It is installed on each server which then becomes a part of a Zimory net work of computing resources. Zimory Manager allows the user to oversee and manage "an unlimited number of servers" with Zimory Host installed. It comes with a web-based graphical user interface. Servers having Zimory Host or Zimory Manager installed reside behind the Firewall within a data centre. Zimory Host and Zimory Manager are available under an Open Source license. Most of the Zimory Manager code base is Open Source, but also contains proprietary and patented functionality that manages the connection to Zimory Marketplace. Servers that are to be part of a Zimory network must be virtual servers. Those using VMware connect natively. Others, for example a virtual server powered by Citrix Xen, connect through Zimory Host installed on the virtual host. Zimory Manager is claimed to b highly interoperable and vendor-neutral and thus to operate regardless of the type of virtual machine. Zimory claims that, while many vendors of virtualisation technologies require that data centres change their business processes to adapt to virtualisation, its technology "is unique in seamlessly fitting with existing business processes and the technical environment in the data centre.
