This section describes the implementation details and configuration of network virtualization integrations to offer SDN features.
Within Abiquo, cloud administrators use logical devices to define the network virtualization systems for datacenters and enterprises.
Currently, Abiquo integrates with OpenStack Neutron and VMware NSX SDN solutions.
