GENI Racks Status
•GPO software team has developed GENI AM APIAcceptance Tests, now available in GCF 1.6.1:
•Acceptance Tests are used by rack teams to verifyGENI AM API compliance.
•Aggregates that passed AM API acceptance tests:
–PG Utah (RSpecs pass rspeclint)
–PLC (RSpecs pass rspeclint)
–FOAM 0.6.3

GENI Racks Status
•GPO Infrastructure team has defined a SystemAcceptance Test Plan for GENI Racks:
•System Acceptance Tests will be run on each of theGENI Racks when rack development is completed.
•Focus is on :
–Experimenter requirements
–Integrated rack solution
–Monitoring features reaching production level
•As part of each GENI Racks deployment, the GPO isan initial aggregate owner and will run a deliveryevaluation.

GENI Racks Status
•GENI Racks Projects being deployed:
–ExoGENI A high performance, flexible virtual networkingtopologies solution including OpenFlow, that also delivers apowerful platform for multi-site cloud applications. These racks aretypically deployed as an integrated part of a campus network.
–InstaGENI - A mid-range, expandable GENI Racks solution thatcan will be deployed at a large number of campuses, deliveringInternet cloud applications support, along with Openflow and VLANnetworking. These racks are normally deployed outside a sitefirewall.
