You can configure the Virtual IMS Collector to collect data from various data sources. vIMS provides the scalable deployment of IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) in virtualized and cloud environments for voice, video, and messaging services. Also, vIMS converges services supplied by different types of networks such as fixed, mobile, and Internet. It allows the creation and deployment of IP-based multimedia services in the 5G networks.
