    21 The Starter Racks project is an effort to get [http://www.nsf.gov/cise/usignite/ US Ignite] cities connected to the GENI Network to facilitate experimental network and compute research, and city application development. The Starter racks jump start the delivery of fully integrated network and compute resources to selected sites. At this time, the Starter racks do not deliver GENI software features such as an Aggregate Manager. Starter Racks can be used as Meso-scale !OpenFlow Site, but requires GPO Infrastructure support to implement, if you are interested in running !OpenFlow on a deployed Starter rack contact [mailto:help.geni.net]. If you would like to make your own GENI Starter rack, see the [wiki:GENI-Infrastructure-Portal/GENIRacks#GetYourOwnGENIRack section] below.
