In the Infrastructure view, on the Private tab, you can incorporate your datacenter's compute, storage, and network resources into the Abiquo platform. You can also create allocation rules to control the use of these resources.

The Cloud Admin adds compute resources to logical groups on Abiquo racks with similar hypervisors or hardware. For a standard networking configuration, you would usually align the Abiquo rack to the top of rack network switch. The Abiquo rack is also the level where you enable High Availability, so you can align VMWare clusters with Abiquo racks.
Abiquo is a thin, unintrusive management layer to the existing infrastructure and there is no impact on any VMs that are already running. The Cloud Admins can add the physical and virtual infrastructure to Abiquo in a controlled way on their own timescales.
