Abiquo helps improve Cloud Automation by providing a single model for orchestrating applications across your clouds, integrating with the tools you use today.
The Automated Cloud Solution
Automation is at the heart of the cloud computing value proposition. It enables speedy allocation of preferred infrastructure, quick and reliable application development and deployment, rapid responses to changing circumstances and optimizes the use of limited resources and budget.
Without automation, it would be almost impossible to realize the promises of reduced costs and increased agility inherent to cloud computing.

Automate the delivery of approved IT services
Abiquo meets the automation demands of enterprise services and applications by providing a single, controlled model to determine the service/application architecture and the policies that maintain how the application responds to its environment. This model is then applied consistently across the many virtualised environments and clouds supported by Abiquo, without requiring custom and repetitive development for each cloud used.
Abiquo applies automation across a variety of enterprise operations tasks:
Auto-provisioning : Define application deployment architectures quickly and intuitively – then let Abiquo handle deployment to one or more clouds of your choice.
Enterprise Workflow : The Abiquo platform helps you deliver on the promises of Cloud computing with improved agility, simplicity and self-service provisioning , but also recognises that you will have investments in existing process, procedures and workflow.
Application Builder : The Abiquo self-service user interface allows you to quickly and easily create new Virtial Appliances within your Virtual Datacenters in order to deploy new applications or services.
API Automation : The Abiquo platform includes a fully featured REST API that allows for automation and integrations to be created around your application deployments.
