Instead of having lots of boxes stacked up, you have one chassis in which you put in many CPU blades. To tie together what are essentially computers, you need some kind of network backplane. That's what you get out of having an integrated Ethernet switch.

My paternal grandfather was a failed novelist. He stacked boxes of rejected manuscripts in a closet.

This was a deep-seated fire because there is clothing, furniture and boxes stacked and packed away inside of the units. We had to pull everything out and spray it all off.

The Packers have lots of owners nobody knows instead of one owner who doesn't know squat.

In most designs, the cells are stacked so that the anode of one is wired to the cathode of the next cell, which gives you a series connection. But with our nano fuel cell design, you basically have all the cells sharing the same air and fuel reservoirs, which are outside the fuel cell array. So you can easily wire them in parallel or series.

This approach offers the best of both worlds. It can enforce CPU guarantees when the system runs out of excess cycles (for maximum security and guaranteed availability of lower-priority services) and can dispense free CPU cycles when they become available (for maximum performance).
