Take a look at the "Why GENI?" section of the [wiki: ExperimenterPortal Experimenter's Portal] to help you decide.10 We hope so. Take a look at the "Why GENI?" section of the [wiki:UnderstandingGENI Understanding GENI page] to help you decide. 11 11 12 12 == What resources are available through GENI? == 13 13 14 GENI resources include a variety of computational and network assets, all programmable by experimenters. Resources are made available to experimenters by GENI ''aggregates''. The [wiki: ExperimenterPortal Experimenter's Portal] has more information in its "An Experimenter's View of GENI" and "GENI Aggregates"sections.14 GENI resources include a variety of computational and network assets, all programmable by experimenters.

How do I decide what to use? == … … 24 24 Yes. Access comes in two varieties. Depending on the resources you will be using, you may use either or both types of access. 25 25 26 1. GENI provides a common interface that lets you reserve resources from many aggregates using a common set of credentials, and a common API (the Aggregate Manager or AM API). In addition, GENI experimenter tools may be helpful to you as you use these aggregates.26 1. '''Using GENI credentials'''. GENI provides a common interface that lets you reserve resources from many aggregates using a common set of credentials, and a common API (the Aggregate Manager or AM API). In addition, GENI experimenter tools may be helpful to you as you use these aggregates. Look [wiki:#HowdoIgetaGENIcredential here] for instructions on how to get a GENI account(credentials). 27 27 28 2.
