AbiCloud

Abicloud is an open source infrastructure software for the creation and integral management of Public & Private Clouds based on heterogeneous environments. The main aim of the project is to offer users a tool with the capacity for scaling, management, automatic and immediate provision of servers, storage, networks, virtual network devices as well as applications.

Details

Nowadays companies have needs for different system architectures specific to a department or work group.

Besides, there are companies with products which need to be scaled seasonally. Not being able to attend to these requirements on demand in an adequate manner makes users feel defrauded by a bad quality service and hence no longer use the product.

With AbiCloud, it is possible to provision the needs of these work groups for their environments (development, tests, pre-production,production) immediately and instant de-provisioning when no longer necessary. The infrastructure does not deplete but instead takes advantage of its full capacity and reduces the value chain (provision problems), saves costs in space in the data center, enhances electricity, number of persons dedicated to maintenance, etc.

With AbiCloud, small companies and start-ups can mount their own Private Cloud and obtain all the benefits that they will attain with AbiCloud in a big company or in a Host Provider

The community version of AbiCloud is distributed under a free software license, hence it is possible to adjust to specific needs, for example Universities, ISVs, SaaS providers, etc.

AbiCloud community is a collection of online resources for all those that wish to take advantage of open version. Registration is free and does not require any compromise for its ownership.
