top500: mare nostrum

2282 blade servers in 27 racks, < 50 m2

blades:very small, slim like a bookminimalistic PC (processor, memory, hard drive)

without power unitwithout USB, peripherals supportwithout video support

typically hot pluggable

energy dissipation of a single blade much smaller than of a PCBUT: higher density in a rack
