Early Adopters

Early Adopters, the campus testbed phase of Early Harvest, is a group of eleven institutions of higher education working to provide a testbed for the deployment of middleware technologies. This will result in early implementation for campus networks, and in a roadmap for other universities and colleges to follow. Early Adopters is sponsored by Internet2 with funding from the National Science Foundation.
