In order to understand one of our new cool features, we include a short presentation to understand the concept.
In next weeks we will publish our own public appliance repository.
If you are an appliance provider or a software company that want to distribute your development as a virtual appliance, feel free to contact us and ask for posible colaborations.
This post is to explain the benefits of OVF standard in the cloud; a little summary of what are, for us, the most important features:
OVF is being and/or will be adopted by the most important players in the cloud market.
Abiquo is designed to work with the OVF standard (nowadays with OVF 1.0 specifications).
Abiquo 0.7.0 release will have the first version of OVF manager, a java library that would be able to be used in other projects. The main benefits are:
This first revision will contain the basic OVF specifications and will be an important section in our community for developers or other projects interested in collaborating with the library improvements.
Moreover, we are working in other cloud components that work with OVF in order to improve the interoperability between clouds … information is coming soon 🙂
And remember, for questions or doubts, you know how to contact us 😉
We are glad to announce the release of a new version (0.7) of the abiquo project, an open source cloud platform manager which allows to easily deploy a cloud computing infrastructure over organizations’ datacenters. Organizations can create, manage and scale complext IT architectures in an easy and agile way.
Abiquo is Cloud computing platform that allows you to offer your infrastructure as a service to your users, allowing them to create and manage public and private clouds, can switch, scale according to the needs of each moment and, therefore, cost savings and business agility.
Today, abiquo has released a new version of its open source product abiquo. This version offers a base for the management of private clouds on different platforms for virtualization, monitoring all events, allowing users to convert their structures into existing IT structures based on Cloud. We are also offering as a new feature the possibility of having a repository of virtual images that can be integrated with external repositories for downloading virtual appliances.
One of the key differences of Abiquo is the the web rich interface for managing the infrastructure. You can deploy a new service just dragging and dropping a virtual machine. This version allows to deploy instances over VirtualBox, KVM, Xen and VMware (subscribers-only).

Today we wish to announce the opening of the Abiquo forum.
Since we released the first version of the Abiquo platform, many people have sent many questions. Basic or advanced questions. We think that it’s important to share this information with everybody, to facilitate the introduction of new users to abiquo products.
You can read the forums, or send your questions after registering. Although, if you are an Abiquo user (from bug tracker or confluence), you can login on to it.
Feel free to ask! Feel free to comment!
Together we will make this project grow!!!!
