Apt, an NSF-funded precursor testbed to CloudLab, is adaptable to many different research domains.

Apt, an NSF-funded precursor to CloudLab, is a testbed instrument that is adaptable to many different research domains through customizable profiles. Shown here is the computer cluster that provides the main hardware resource for Apt. It is comprised of approximately 200 servers that are located in the University of Utah's Downtown Data Center. The Utah portion of CloudLab will go into the same facility - in fact, right next to the equipment in the photographs.
