To display the infrastructure resources:
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

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.
