secure, rack-mounted, 6U enclosure. The A3100 Chassis provides
chassis management features, cable management, and blade
connectivity. Chassis connectivity includes USB 2.0, two network ports
for each enclosed blade, and PCoIP connections to support zero clients.
Blade A computer with a typically longer, narrower shape than traditional
computers. Blades are designed to reduce space and energy
requirements and are mounted in a rack (the blade enclosure) that
supplies power, network, USB, and other features for all blades
contained in the rack.

Connection
broker Software that manages the assignment of computing resources to users.
For example, when a user logs in, a connection broker can always assign
that user to a particular host or to a particular set of hosts. Connection
brokers can also perform additional tasks, such as load balancing,
managing power states of zero clients and hosts, or firmware updates.
