# Tier-S: High-Density Supernodes

![Tier-S](images/tiers.png)

Tier-S represents high-density deployments of compute capacity, where multiple nodes are combined into containerized units or other modular formats. These "supernodes" are placed in strategic locations with high connectivity and bandwidth.

### Key Characteristics:
- **High Performance**: Designed for demanding workloads, capable of processing over 1,000,000 transactions per second.
- **Modular & Scalable**: Can be deployed quickly and scaled by adding more units, providing a flexible alternative to building traditional data centers.
- **Liquid-Cooled Efficiency**: Utilizes advanced liquid immersion cooling, eliminating the need for power-hungry HVAC systems.
- **Use Cases**: Ideal for hyperscalers, telecom infrastructure (4G/5G), and as the backbone for a distributed grid of Tier-H nodes.
