| 7 | | Three useful criteria for picking an [wiki:GENIRacksHome#InstaGENIRacks InstaGENI rack] to use are: |
| 8 | | 1. Physical location of the node |
| 9 | | 1. Whether the site supports [wiki:GeniNetworkStitchingSites stitching] |
| 10 | | 1. Load for the VM type you are interested in using. |

| 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. |
