Image is of the NOAA Hera supercomputer located in Fairmont, WV. Hera has 52,640 Skylake processors with multiple grey cabinets (20 are shown in the image) and is labeled with CRAY CS500. The racks of hardware components are stacked vertically to save space,  allow for ease of connecting the many nodes and cores of the supercomputer, and improve efficiency in cooling.
