9. Product
Abiquo has developed 3 products, one based in Cloud
computing, and two complementary based in Grid and Hadoop
Low cost Cloud Storage solution &
Search optimization
Software that allows data to find inmediately
Applications running over petabytes of information via an Intelligent
Information Management
Cloud which allow to
resolve companies
problems
Accelerates calculations
Boost the performance of your
apps while reducing it's
execution time
Rationalises resources
Essential application to
Abicloud is an opensource
optimize IT resources and software infrastructure for the
necessary to use applications creation and management of
Public & Private Clouds based
from different vendors
virtualized heterogeneous
environments.

10. Product
abiNtense
Grid Computing framework to boost the performance of high intense
computing:
• Can be executed on any device (PC, server,
embedded)
• Distribute the workload to optimize the capacity of
the resource.
• Ease the development, deployment and monitoring
of applications developed in different computers
concurrently.

11. Product
AbiNtense boost your processes without investing in
additional hardware
abiNtense can get
advantages of the
idle capacity of the
hardware of your
enterprise

12. abiData
Find and manipulate petabytes of information instantly thanks to its smart
information management:
- Redundantly (distributed storage)
- Scalable
- Load Balanced (uniform distribution of data)

13. Example
abiData improves data search performance and
security
abiData can replicate data across diferent nodes to avoid data loss.
The client can manage their archives in a single folder,
even if the information is scattered in multiple remote
servers.
1 Search query
Search is performed in different da
2
nodes and applications
Search process is split avoiding locks and data loss.
Data found, then returned to the main
3
server
Calculation performed and returned to
4
the user/application

14. Tecnology
AbiData combines different grid technologies to get
the best results
AbiSearch implements:
Information providers
Abiquo has
Hadoop (Yahoo distributed search engine)
develop a
Structured data
Hbase (Hadoop database) product that
Data management
allows
PIG (Structured data query)
enteprises to
