With Abiquo, you can leverage technologies and services from the leading cloud providers for the most cost-effective and reliable solution to meet your organizations unique goals.
The Independent, Open Cloud Platform
When business evaluates the value of cloud computing they often ask some of the following questions:
“How do we avoid vendor lock-in?”
“How can we leverage the strengths of different cloud providers with one management solution?”
“Do we need a hybrid solution that is built from a mixture of private and public clouds?”
Abiquo solves these issues and ensures your business remains technology and service independent, crucial for your application deployments.
The Abiquo platform provides an abstraction layer that integrates with different cloud technologies and services and allows cross cloud-platform application management.
Reducing Lock-in Risks
Abiquo mitigates the risks that using cloud providers, services and technologies can represent and offers flexibility as the cloud technology and service provider market develops and matures.
Abiquo provides total management of the physical resources that build your cloud, across any number of data centres worldwide, including those you own, and those you rent.
