Abiquo 1.5 Release

Abiquo 1.5 is here, it was announced today in conjuncture with our re-launch as a US based company. The first product to allow IT managers to automatically convert virtual machine images built for one hypervisor technology to any other hypervisor supported by the product, most significantly including VMWare to Hyper-V conversions, in a single drag-and-drop operation. This brings Abiquo significantly closer to its unique vision of delivering a platform for managing fully interoperable, vendor-neutral public and private clouds.

The Software allows IT operations managers, responsible for maintaining the hardware, to create and manage pooled computer resources, or Resource Clouds, from any servers virtualized by any supported hypervisor. This Resource Cloud can then be provisioned or sold to those that need it, the users of the IT resources. These consumers can then use Abiquo to create virtual datacenters through which they can deploy instantly bundled virtual servers, storage and other physical resource, and applications from public and private virtual image libraries. All through a highly visual drag-and-drop user interface.

“The Cloud computing market is saturated with technology hype and incomplete offerings that don’t deliver enterprises the practical Cloud management solutions they desperately need,” said Pete Malcolm, CEO, Abiquo. “In contrast with other vendors, Abiquo includes all the required components to provide immediate business benefits. For example, delegating virtual datacenter control provides a significant reduction to an IT organization’s workload and immediate user empowerment benefits, eliminating IT bottlenecks. In addition, Abiquo allows IT to maintain management and control of their IT infrastructure, achieve full elasticity of computing resources, and eliminate virtualization and Cloud vendor lock-in. Abiquo has been extensively tested by both the open source community and by early commercial adopters including Global 1000 enterprises.”

Abiquo’s Complete Solution
Key new features in Abiquo 1.5 include:

• Microsoft Hyper-V Support
• Automatic “drag and drop” VM conversion between all supported hypervisor types
• Auto-discover machine resources and manage existing live Virtual Machines
• Capture and store stateful Virtual Machines

“As enthusiastic users of the current Abiquo solution, we are excited to learn of the new features in version 1.5”, said Jordi Mas, CEO, Nexica, a leading European hosted infrastructure provider (www.nexica.com), “we are particularly impressed by the hypervisor conversion and automatic provisioning which will allow us to save significant time and resources”.

The new features build on the unique benefits Abiquo provides:

• Multi-tenancy with Delegated provisioning and management of Virtual Enterprises
• Enforceable Resource Limits to ensure risk-free operation
• Policy based Workload Management with automatic VM assignment
• Hypervisor agnostic, supporting VMWare, Hyper-V, Xen, KVM and Virtual Box
• Image Libraries (public, shared and private) for VM images and bundled appliances
• Web-based graphical user interface with role-based context
• Fully supports open standards including OVF and Stream Optimized Format

“While server virtualization technologies are relatively mature, they do not provide the complete management infrastructure required to create a private cloud service,” said Cameron Haight, research vice president, Gartner. “A production oriented private or on-premise cloud architecture should have four key components: access management, service management, resource management and the underlying resource tier.”

• [ABICLOUD-283] – If you delete a repository space and register it again, still ‘remember’ downloaded images
• [ABICLOUD-284] – When a wrong RS is added, an unexpected error from VA appears
• [ABICLOUD-285] – In the process: Create a duplicate RS, Delete the duplicate RS and trying to enter the originary one, an error is occurred
• [ABICLOUD-288] – If you upload a Virtual Image, the memory allocated by default is 99999999
• [ABICLOUD-289] – Delete a Physical Machine throws an exception. Can not delete its Virtual Machines
• [ABICLOUD-291] – If bundling a virtual appliance fails, it should recover from the error
• [ABICLOUD-294] – Error trying to shutdown two virtual applications at the same time
• [ABICLOUD-298] – Text fields in metering screen overlaped
• [ABICLOUD-300] – IP information on Physical Machine detail is truncated
• [ABICLOUD-301] – Chart of used CPU is not correct

Improvements

• [ABICLOUD-46] – Virtual Machine states
• [ABICLOUD-47] – Repository Space on Appliance Manager don’t show long strings
• [ABICLOUD-106] – AbiServer should use notifications to register new downloaded images on the ApplianceManager
• [ABICLOUD-151] – Show the hypervisor type for images in VirtualApp view
• [ABICLOUD-199] – Cannot have multiples Remote Access open at the same time
• [ABICLOUD-200] – Implement a ‘Copy to clipboard’ button besides the VRDP IP and port

• [ABICLOUD-234] – Default rack on physical Machine
• [ABICLOUD-235] – Filter by Location on Datacenter management
• [ABICLOUD-279] – Change ‘description’ field in Virtual Image to text type, or truncate to 255
• [ABICLOUD-64] – Deleting a virtual image
• [ABICLOUD-112] – Time out on Remote repository connection

Easy Install with the New Pre-configured ISO Images

UPDATE: New 1.0.0RC1 pre-configured ISO images available!

From Abiquo 0.7.0 we introduced the Cloud Nodes images as an option to reduce the time to deploy a Cloud Infrastructure. In the new Abiquo 0.8.0 version, we have created a set of openSUSE 11.1 Distros with all the software and libraries you need to deploy a complete Abiquo Cloud Computing Infrastructure.

Abiquo Server Live Installer

An Abiquo Server Live Installer is an openSUSE 11.1 Distro with all the libraries and software bundled in such a way that the set up of a simple Abiquo Infrastructure as a Service deployment is a very simple process almost without any intervention. You have all you need to test drive the platform in a single ISO image. Besides, the linux distribution detects the existing hardware the first time it boots.

At this moment we have these images:

• Abiquo Server openSUSE 11.1 x86 32 bits with VirtualBox 2.2.4 [download] [torrent]: This image install all the software you need to set up an Abiquo Server and a VirtualBox Cloud Node.It’s the right image to test drive the platform if you only have a server available.
• Abiquo Server Lite openSUSE 11.1 x86 32 bits [download] [torrent]: This image install all the software you need to set up an Abiquo Server. It’s the right image to test drive the platform if you have more than one server. You can install it on virtual or physical server, and deploy a Cloud Node in a physical server.

Basically, the installation is a ‘next, next,next’ process, but if you need help this screencast will show you how to do it.

Cloud Node Live Installer

A Cloud Node Live Installer is another set of openSUSE 11.1 Distros with all the libraries and software bundled in such a way that the set up of a Cloud Node is a very simple process. And the linux distribution detects the existing hardware when it boots for the first time.

At this moment we have these images:

• VirtualBox – openSUSE 11.1 x86 32 bits [download] [torrent]
• KVM – openSUSE 11.1 x86 32 bits [download] [torrent]

Again, the installation is a ‘next, next,next’ process, and this screencast can help you.

You can read the full installation process  on the Abiquo Community Wiki. Good luck!
