A processor array is like a storage array but contains and manages processing elements instead of storage elements.
The processor array should have the following characteristics:
- Should support forty or more processing elements (blades) per chassis
- The chassis should support the use of commodity motherboards
- The chassis should only backplane power and management capabilities to extend the life of the chassis and reduce chassis change costs
- Will provide end to end redundant power
- Each processing element should support two or more redundant virtualized I/O connections

Famous quotes containing the word array:
“Any one who knows what the worth of family affection is among the lower classes, and who has seen the array of little portraits stuck over a labourer’s fireplace ... will perhaps feel with me that in counteracting the tendencies, social and industrial, which every day are sapping the healthier family affections, the sixpenny photograph is doing more for the poor than all the philanthropists in the world.”
—Macmillan’s Magazine (London, September 1871)
