Aggregate Manager Common Name	ohmetrodc-ig-of
Aggregate Resources	An InstaGENI aggregate includes 5 Hosts (3 VM Servers and 2 dedicated PCs) that can load experimenter specified OS images. Racks also support OpenFlow topologies, usually including extensions onto campus OpenFlow networks. Rack servers are HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8.
Typical Experiments	InstaGENI provides a controllable, predictable, and repeatable network environment. Experimenters can get virtual machines or dedicated PCs on which they have full "root" access, run available operating systems of their choice, and connect nodes in an arbitrary topology that can support OpenFlow.
Sample RSpecs	Link to RSpecs used successfully for rack site confirmation tests.
Aggregate Status	Operational monitoring not widely available, restricted access to monitoring at ​GMOC
Slice Authorities Recognized	GENI Portal (​https://portal.geni.net), ProtoGENI (​http://www.emulab.net)
Usage Policies	A ​GENI Recommended Use Policy is available. Site should also add links here to their own usage policies.
Layer 2 Connectivity	Internet2 via non-OF OARNet regional network
