Standard networking
In standard networking, cloud networks are VLANs in the 'service network' that runs on the Abiquo platform networks. For each datacenter, the network administrator should design the configuration (e.g. VLAN tags, switches, SDN) that will be required. For standard networks, the administrator must configure the cloud platform switches to support the VLANs that make up the service network.

Abiquo supports software defined networking (SDN) through integrations with network managers such as OpenStack Neutron and VMware NSX, providing SDN and firewalls and load balancers in private cloud datacenters or regions. Abiquo uses the SDN systems to manage private networks and IPs and to manage IPs of managed datacenter networks. You can use Neutron in private cloud datacenters and you can also use it with OpenStack cloud regions.

Abiquo supports many different public cloud providers with different types of networking. For example, in AWS, Abiquo onboards VPCs, and creates datacenters VPCs with NAT support, and Abiquo manages Elastic IPs.
