3 Overview
3.1 Introducing 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.
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.

3.2 Abicloud product versions
Abicloud comes in three different versions targeting different business needs:
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.
The enterprise version of AbiCloud is a set of premium modules on top of the community
version of AbiCloud that let companies to access to advanced features not targeted to small
companies or startups.
The ISP/hosters version of AbiCloud is an extended version of the enterprise version of AbiCloud
that let companies to resell the AbiCloud platform to their customers.
The premium modules are licensed by number of CPUs in the Cloud Cluster. Please contact

3.5 Glossary
Please read this list before continuing with the document, no matter if you are a newbie or an
expert it will help to clarify some “nebulous” terms:
Cloud User
An enterprise user with privileges to create virtual Appliances and manage them
Data center
A data center is the physical infrastructure of a cloud provider. A cloud provider can be private
(a datacenter of a big company) or public (a hosting company)
Enterprise
The entity that agglutinates the virtual cloud infrastructure of a company. An enterprise can
create virtual datacenters, virtual Appliance, etc. This enterprise virtual infrastructure can be
isolated from other enterprise clouds.
Enterprise Cloud Admin
The enterprise user with the most privileges who manages the private cloud of the enterprise
and adds new Cloud users to its cloud infrastructure
Hypervisor
The virtualization technology installed on each Physical Machine that permits the creation of
virtual Machines
Node
The node is one of the components of the appliance (One virtual Image). For example 1
apache server is a node of the myWebSite Appliance
Physical Machine
A server on the data center
Rack
The physical box that contains physical machines
SysAdmin
ABICLOUD QUICK START

It's the user role that will be able to manage the virtual and physical infrastructure of the data
center and customize it to offer the cloud functionalities to enterprises
Virtual Appliance
The main object of AbiCloud. A virtual appliance is based on the OVF standard and it's the
component that defines a complex system (Virtual Images, network, storage, etc.). For
example, myWebSite can be an appliance composed of 1 load balancer, 2 apache servers
and 1 MySQL server.
Virtual Data Center
An abstract object to define a logical group of virtual appliances.
OVF
Open Virtualization Format (OVF) is an open standard for packaging and distributing virtual
appliances or more generally software to be run in virtual machines. Abicloud is based in OVF
in order to benefit the interoperability between cloud providers and facilitate the integration
between different virtualization technologies.

4 AbiCloud Installer
4.1 Requirements
JRE 1.6
VirtualBox (2.1.0, 2.1.2 or 2.1.4, latest versions are not tested) installed on each cloud node.
Remember that AbiCloud is prepared to support many virtualization technologies using a plug-
in infrastructure. Abiquo has decided to start offering the VirtualBox plug-in in the first release,
because it has an easy installation process and the user doesn't needs special hardware
infraestructure. In a few weeks we will offer other virtualization plug-ins.
4.2 Tips
The installer downloads MySQL (if you choose to install it) and Tomcat. If you have the installers,
you can create a directory named /opt/external (in GNU/Linux) or c:/external (in
Windows), save the files mysql.tgz and tomcat.tgz (in GNU/Linux) or mysql.zip and tomcat.zip (in
Windows) in this directory. For MySql download the version without the installer. The name of the
files matter.
4.3 Instructions
The installer works in graphic and command line mode.

5 AbiCloud Technical Features
5.1 Infrastructure Management
5.1.1 Overview
The idea of this feature is to allow cloud administrators to manage their IT infrastructure and
prepare it for use by third party users and run their distributed applications.
5.1.2 Concepts
Cloud: the name identifying the group of data centers that offer scalability and other cloud
features to final users.
Data center: group of physical machines in the same LAN (Local Area Network). These
machines share place, network and resources (for instance, power light).
Rack: In each data center, you can group physical machines in racks (like in a real
datacenter).
Physical Machine: physical resource (server) that has the Hypervisor (virtualization
infrastructure).
Hypervisor: virtualization platform allowing the creation of different virtual machines in the same
physical machine. With the Abiquo application one can connect to different virtualization
technologies (ESX, XEN, SUN xVM VirtualBox, etc.). In this first beta version users can "play" with
SUN xVM VirtualBox in order to facilitate installation of the virtualization technology.
Virtual Machine: virtual instance of an operative system. One Physical Machine with a
Hypervisor installed can create various virtual machines.
ABICLOUD QUICK START
Page 15 of 33
5.1.3 Data center list
One can organize their cloud into different data centers (1) (a data center being a group of
physical machines in the same LAN).
From this page one can create (2), delete(3) and modify (4) data centers and organize them
in a map (4).
The Search (5) input text field can be used to filter a list of data centers and search for a
desired object.
Full screen (6) button for enlarging the map and navigation between the map.
Note: In this beta community version the user can manage as many data centers as desired
but this can only be done from the data center called "myDataCenter".
ABICLOUD QUICK START
Page 16 of 33
5.1.4 Data center management
The page for managing all the resources in the data center selected and permitting non
restricted users to choose where the virtual applications are deployed.
The main content is divided into three sections:
Physical components:
Physical Machines list (1): list of machines in the data center. They are grouped by racks
(logical aggregation) and the following actions can be carried out:
Move physical machines between racks.
Clone a physical machine, choosing a physical machine and moving it by pressing the ALT
button
At the bottom of the list appears a list of physical machines not assigned (2) to a rack. This is
not an important feature in this beta version but in future releases a list of non assigned
machines that have been detected will automatically be displayed.
At the bottom of this section are three buttons via which a user can create, delete and modify
physical machines (3).
Virtual machines (4): It is possible to show the virtual machines created in different physical
machines (or grouped by rack). The virtual machines can be viewed as a list of names or icons
(5) with each entry representing a virtual machine object. In each virtual machine object the
following can be done:
Move the virtual machine between physical machines.
Stop/Start (6) the virtual machine
Pause (7) the virtual machine
Restart (8) the virtual machine
Access the server via VDRP (9)
With the button find (16) you can filter the virtual machine list.
More information (10): this section appears when the user selects a virtual machine or a
physical machine. It contains the information on the selected object. The user can edit (11)
the information of a physical/virtual machine. On a virtual machine, a user can access via
VRDP (12), start/stop (13), pause (14) and reset (15) the machine.
Using the return (17) button, the user can go to the previous page.

providers), and generate virtual applications.
There are two pages:
Virtual Data Center Dashboard: Where users can see the summary of all their virtual
infrastructure
Virtual Application modelling: Where users can generate and modify application layout that
runs over the cloud infrastructure.
It's important to know that this section is defined at the enterprise level meaning that users in
the same enterprise can show the same content
5.2.2 Concepts
Basic concepts to understand:
Virtual Data Center: an isolated cloud infrastructure in a physical Datacenter where a company
deploys its cloud applications.
Virtual application: a simple or complex system developed inside the virtual Datacenter.
Log information: For each virtual application a user can view the log information to see if any
errors have occurred.
