| 6 | == How to pick which InstaGENI Rack to use == |
| 7 | Three useful criteria for picking an InstaGENI rack to use are: |
| 8 | 1) Physical location of the node |
| 9 | 2) Load for the VM type you are interested in using. |
| 10 | 3) Whether the site supports [wiki:GeniNetworkStitchingSites stitching] |
| 11 | |
| 12 | In the [#AllInstaGENIRacks All InstaGENI Racks] table below, each row is an InstaGENI rack (sorted alphabetically and labeled if it is a [wiki:GeniNetworkStitchingSites stitching site]). |
| 13 | |
| 14 | Each cell represents a VM server. VM servers listed in the first column are always configured to create''OpenVZ containers'' and those in later columns run ''xen virtual machines''. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | Each graph indicates the number of VMs running on that VM server over the last hour. Higher numbers indicate a heavier load. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | In general, pick a VM server that matches your criteria for stitching support and geographical location and isn't running a heavy load. |
