Context Before

The Vera standalone rack addresses this directly, achieving unprecedented density by fitting 256 CPUs into a single rack — a feat that necessitates liquid cooling. The underlying rationale mirrors the NVL rack design philosophy: pack compute tightly enough that copper interconnects can reach everything within the rack, eliminating the need for optical transceivers on the spine.

Evidence

The cost savings from copper more than offset the additional cooling overhead.

Context After

Each Vera ETL rack consists of 32 compute trays, 16 above and 16 below, arranged symmetrically around four 1U MGX ETL switch trays (based on Spectrum-6) in the middle. The symmetric split is deliberate: it minimizes cable length variance between compute trays and the spine, keeping all connections within copper reach. From each switch tray, rear-facing ports connect to that copper spine for intra-rack communication, while 32 front-facing OSFP cages provide optical connectivity to the rest of the POD.
