Go to Infrastructure → Private or Public
Select a datacenter or public cloud region
If necessary, click on the server details symbol at the top of the Datacenters list
In public cloud, click on a tenant account to display its details
To allow tenants to use virtual resources, grant them access to the datacenter or public cloud region. See Manage Enterprises and Configure an enterprise in a cloud location

Note that scopes will affect the administration of datacenter resources but not the use of datacenter resources. If the user's enterprise is allowed to use a datacenter, the user will be able to deploy in that datacenter, even if they do not have administration privileges for it.

Abiquo defines a datacenter as a set of IT resources (servers, networking and external storage) in the same physical location. From the Infrastructure view you can manage basic infrastructure elements such as networks, racks, and physical machines.
Abiquo defines a public cloud region as a set of IT resources exposed by a supported cloud provider.
The following diagram shows a datacenter with compute resources and a public cloud region in AWS with VPCs.

Introduction to the Catalogue for datacenters
In datacenters, Abiquo creates self-service for users through the Catalogue, which contains software templates and blueprints that are ready to deploy. In private cloud, the catalogue stores disk images on an NFS repository and so Abiquo requires one NFS repository for each Abiquo datacenter.

Remote Service | Description |
|---|---|
Virtualization manager | Manages virtual appliance startup and shutdown. Connects to cloud nodes to perform VM operations. Also known as the virtual factory. |
Monitor manager | Performs virtual appliance monitoring. Listens for events occurring in cloud nodes and updates VM state. Also known as the virtual system monitor. |
Appliance manager | Manages the VM templates, appliance library and template repositories. |
Discovery manager | Auto-discovers physical machines. Retrieves hardware information, hypervisor type, and existing VM information. Also known as node collector |
Service manager | Manages XaaS (anything as a service). Retrieves service details and displays a service interface in the platform |
Business process manager | Performs asynchronous Virtual-to-Virtual (V2V) operations, converting VM templates to all hypervisor formats, and managing template exports. |
DHCP service | Assigns IP addresses and static routes to the VMs managed by the platform. |
DHCPv6 service | Assigns IPv6 addresses to the VMs managed by the platform. |
Remote access manager | Manages connections to virtual machines for remote access |
