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
