What is Virima?

Virima is a modern IT operations platform purpose-built to give you complete visibility across your entire IT estate. Using automated discovery, it continuously scans and maps every asset — physical, virtual, and cloud — so your Halo ITSM platform always runs on trusted, accurate data.

At its core is ViVID™ — Virima's proprietary Visual Impact and Dependency Display. ViVID™ maps how every application, server, and service connects, then overlays live incident and change data on top. The result: your team can see at a glance what's affected, what changed, and who owns the fix. Recognised by EMA as uniquely combining machine-driven accuracy with human context.

Automated Discovery
Agentless, agent-based, and API — on-prem, cloud, and hybrid
Live CMDB
Continuously updated — no stale data, no manual effort
ViVID™ Service Mapping
Visualise dependencies, blast radius, and live service status
Full ITAM
Hardware, software, licences, warranties — full lifecycle

Why Most ITSM Deployments Underperform

ITSM only works when it's driven by accurate, trusted data. In most environments, that data simply doesn't exist — or it's weeks out of date before anyone notices.

Without Virima

Stale CMDBs Manual updates fall behind. Configuration data drifts from reality within days.
Unknown Blast Radius Changes get approved without knowing which services they'll impact — and outages follow.
Slow Incident Resolution Teams waste time mapping impact manually instead of fixing the issue.
Audit Fire Drills Software licences, warranties, and hardware inventory scrambled together every audit cycle.
Shadow IT Blind Spots Assets you don't know about can't be managed, secured, or decommissioned.

With Virima + Halo ITSM

Allied ESM delivers Virima natively integrated with Halo ITSM. Virima handles continuous discovery and automated service mapping. Halo uses that live data to drive faster incidents, safer changes, and cleaner operations — from day one.

ViVID™ shows blast radius before any change is approved

Faster root-cause analysis — see what changed and what's impacted instantly

A CMDB that updates itself — accurate by default, not by effort

Always audit-ready — hardware, software, and licences tracked continuously

Measurable value in weeks, not months

ViVID™ Service Mapping

Know the Blast Radius Before You Approve Anything

Failed changes are one of the leading causes of unplanned outages. Most happen because the approver didn't have a complete picture of what the change would touch.

ViVID™ solves this. Before a change gets approved in Halo, your team can see a live service map showing every dependent CI, application, and business service in scope. If the risk is too high, you know before anything breaks — not after.

  • Visual dependency maps overlaid with live incident and change data

  • Stakeholder and ownership context surfaced automatically per change

  • Faster root-cause analysis — pinpoint what changed and what broke

  • Fewer failed changes, lower MTTR, improved service availability

ViVID Service Mapping — Halo + Virima

What Virima ITAM tracks continuously

Hardware assets — servers, desktops, laptops, network devices
Software installs — versions, licence keys, usage data
Cloud assets — AWS and Azure resources, auto-discovered
Warranty and support coverage — automatic status lookup by serial
Contracts and SLAs — vendor agreements and renewal dates
Licence entitlements vs actual installs — identify waste immediately
ITAM & Compliance

Audit-Ready Isn't a Sprint. It's Your Default State.

Most organisations treat IT audits as a crisis — a scramble to pull together hardware inventories, software licences, and contract evidence under pressure. With Virima, that scramble disappears.

Virima's ITAM continuously tracks every hardware asset, software installation, licence entitlement, and contract across your entire estate. When your next audit arrives — or your next renewal negotiation — the evidence is already there, accurate and current.

And because Virima identifies underutilised software and hardware, most organisations find cost savings within the first 90 days that more than offset the platform cost.

How Discovery Works

Every Asset. Every Environment.

Virima uses three discovery methods in combination — so nothing in your estate goes unmapped, regardless of how it's structured. Over 140 agentless probes are included out of the box, and a single Discovery App can scan more than 20,000 IP addresses per day.

Agentless Discovery

Network scanning that discovers assets without installing software on target devices. Ideal for servers, network infrastructure, and environments with strict security policies.

  • ✓ Windows, Linux, Unix, macOS servers
  • ✓ Network infrastructure — switches, routers, firewalls
  • ✓ VMware vCenter and ESXi hosts
  • ✓ Active Directory, MS SQL, MySQL, IIS, certificates
  • ✓ Cisco Meraki and SNMP devices

Agent-Based Discovery

Lightweight agents for Windows, Mac, and Linux that track daily configuration changes and software usage. Designed for laptops, remote workers, and devices that move off-network — including a work-from-anywhere mode where agents communicate directly over the internet to a Virima-hosted Discovery App.

  • ✓ Remote and work-from-anywhere devices
  • ✓ Virima-hosted WFA Discovery App — no on-prem server needed for roaming devices
  • ✓ Software licence metering and usage
  • ✓ Daily config change tracking

Cloud & API Discovery

Native integrations with AWS and Azure surface cloud resources automatically. API-based discovery connects to platforms and applications that traditional network scanning can't reach.

  • ✓ AWS and Azure resources
  • ✓ Virtual machines and containers
  • ✓ SaaS and hosted applications via API

Native Integration

Virima + Halo ITSM — No Middleware. No Custom Dev.

Virima lists Halo ITSM as a named native integration — meaning the connection between the two platforms is built, maintained, and supported out of the box. There's no middleware layer, no custom API work, and no ongoing integration maintenance for your team to manage.

Once connected, Virima automatically populates and continuously updates the Halo CMDB. Every incident and change raised in Halo is enriched with live ViVID™ service context — impacted services, dependencies, and ownership — surfaced directly within the ticket.

  • Automated population and continuous update of the Halo CMDB

  • ViVID™ service maps embedded into Halo incidents and changes

  • Asset and CI data synced in real time — no reconciliation needed

  • Allied ESM handles the full integration as part of the delivery package
