Setting up Abiquo demo
With Abiquo Enterprise Cloud Management, CARI.net customers can build a virtual data center in the cloud in only 5 minutes. Watch the following demonstration in which a user can log in, create a virtual data center, apply resources to the data center, create an appliance, drag and drop servers to create a network, deploy the network as an appliance and then log into the servers to configure them… in just 5 minutes!
Abiquo empowers authorized users and groups, by allowing them to manage their own virtual enterprises within allocated resource limits. New virtual machines or pre-built appliances can be deployed in seconds, dramatically improving efficiency and allowing you to regain business agility.

Enterprise scalability
The Abiquo solution is designed to scale to meet the needs of the largest organizations and yet it is equally at home in a small development lab with only a few machines to manage. Its stateless architecture provides three deployment models depending on scalability requirements. A single commodity server can manage hundreds of VMs. Split services across multiple servers can manage many thousands of VMs or use multiple management clusters to manage over 100,000 VMs. Abiquo is built on industry standards to operate in conjunction with other management tools, Web services, databases, storage systems and networking.
Delegated control
Frees the IT infrastructure team from the need to provision and manage every virtual machine while empowering authorised users, reducing backlog and bottlenecks and significantly increasing agility and flexibility.
Virtual to Virtual (V2V) conversion between all hypervisors ends vendor lock-in
Vendor lock-in to any particular hypervisor is eliminated through a single drag and drop operation that converts a running VM on any supported hypervisor to run on any other in moments. Abiquo’s multi-threaded V2V conversion engine handles concurrent operations at high speed. Even if organizations have no immediate plans to change hypervisors, the fact they have the ability to do so reduces risk and substantially improves their negotiating position.
Web based context-aware graphical user interface
Single point of control that can be immediately accessed by any authorized user from any location. Easy to understand and operate, reducing training times, and promoting user confidence.
