Middleware in a box

Imagine you can have a tinny virtual machine with an abiquo middleware exposing its resources to everyone:

• 

  Reduce vulnerability in grid nodes against out of control processes (they can destroy the virtual machine information). Safer for the user.

• Homogeneous execution environment for all nodes.
• Add cloud computing benefits to grid computing benefits.

Imagine you can have a light virtual machine (downloadable from the Internet). Easy to install, multiplatform and featuring all abiquo functionalities.

Last Friday, abiquoLabs accomplished this goal. The first prototype of abiquo Platform over a customized virtualized Linux within a VirtualBox and… this box… in Norway :).

Why we choose VirtualBox? Basically because we believe VirtualBox is the better end user virtualization solution, easier for final users.

After this.. we are starting to think about different cool solutions and user applications… they will be here soon 😉

But… what is abiquo?

This is a question people are wondering and they always try to ask us.

Cloud Computing? Grid Computing? The Internet of things? M2M?…

The response for abiquoLabs is easy:

Abiquo is an Open Source platform that allows interconnecting ANY KIND OF DEVICE in the same infrastructure to create INTELLIGENT NETWORKS. From huge servers to tiny sensors, from Cloud Computing to Wireless Sensor Networks. Abiquo allows any developer to create his own dream application in an easy way.

Yes, we know that it is a very generic concept but we like big challenges… do you want to help us?

The Open Comunity is comming soon…

NEOTEC grant awarded

Just a brief post to announce that we have been awarded with the NEOTEC grant. It’s a significant step in Spain, which will allow us to boost our operations. Expect interesting movements made by us in the next weeks 🙂
