  *  '''[#InstaGENIRacks InstaGENI]''' - A mid-range cost, expandable GENI Racks solution that can will be deployed at a large number of campuses, delivering Internet cloud applications support, along with !OpenFlow and VLAN networking. These racks are normally deployed outside a site firewall.
-

 All GENI Racks have layer 3 connections to the Internet and layer 2 connections to the GENI core networks (curently NLR and Internet2). The racks use commodity Internet for control access to rack resources, and shared VLANS for the application and experiment data connections.  The racks may also use layer 3 Internet connections for some experiments, particularly IP cloud experiments.  This diagram illustrates logical connections for all the GENI Rack types:

+The OpenGENI project is an effort to deploy a GENI Compliant aggregate on a Dell rack. An [wiki:GENIRacksHome/OpenGENIRacks/ArchitectureDescription OpenGENI Architecture] document is available. For more details see the '''[wiki:GENIRacksHome/OpenGENI/Racks OpenGENI Rack]''' page.

+
+== OpenGENI Components ==
+
+The OpenGENI rack includes the following types of systems:
+
+   * Control Node -  !OpenStack Server that runs the GENI API Server and the Operational monitoring function.
+   * Two or more Experiment Nodes - Nodes managed by GRAM software, to provide boot services, account creation, experimental management, etc.
+   * !OpenFlow Switch - Provides internal routing and data plane connectivity to the GENI backbone (layer 2 and layer 3)
+   * Management Switch - Provides control plane connectivity to the Internet (layer 3)
+
+Following are the network connections for an OpenGENI rack:

+== OpenGENI Specifications ==
+The current hardware components specification for the InstaGENI Racks includes:
+
+''__Compute Resources__'' 3 !PowerEdge Dell R620XL rack server hosts that provide the VM Server, Monitoring, Storage, and Application functions:
+  * Control Node - 1 Dell !PowerEdge R620XL server Server with 252 GB of RAM and 300 GB hard drive. 
+  * Experiment Nodes - 2 or more Dell !PoweEdge R620XL server Server with 252 GB of RAM, and 300 GB hard drive.
+  * Bare Metal Node - Not supported at this time
+
+''__Network Components__'' 2 network components to provide access to GENI core networks and commodity Internet:
+ * Dell Force10 S4810P !Openflow Switch supports 48 dual-speed 1/10 Gb ports and four 40 Gb ports
+ * Dell !PowerConnect Switch with up to 48 ports of GbE and optional 4x 10Gb
+
+== OpenGENI Implementation ==
+Configuration and run-time requirements for OpenGENI rack systems are documented here. Following are a list of available configuration details for the rack setup:
+
+ * [wiki:GENIRacksHome/OpenGENIRacks/OpenGENICheckList Site Checklist] used to gather initial site configuration data. 
+ * [wiki:GENIRacksAdministration/OpenGENIRacksAdminAccounts Administrative Accounts] instructions for creating new administrative accounts.

+OpenGENI Racks are [wiki:GENIRacksHome/GENIProvisionalResources GENI Provisional Resources]. Development is taking place to meet [wiki:GeniRacks#D.MonitoringRequirements monitoring requirements] by implememtinmg OpenGENI Operational Monitoring.
+
+
+== OpenGENI Site Requirements ==
+
+OpenGENI racks have the following site requirements:
+ * Network Setup - Define how the rack will connect to the Internet and to the GENI backbones. Ex Regional connections, connection speed, VLANs to be used, etc.
+ * Address assignment for rack components - Define which address, subnet mask, routing is to be configured for the rack components.
+ * Power requirements - based on site requirements
+ * Administrative accounts - Setup of site administrator account that will be created on the all rack devices.
+ * Delivery logistics - Details for ''where'' the rack is to be delivered, ''who'' will accept the delivers, and ''when'' the delivery will take place.  Also covers any physical restrictions for the rack delivery.
