Huh? Am I dreaming this?

"It includes common lisp object system (CLOS) architecture, Linux
operating system and nodes and racks built by Hewlett Packard."
Does anyone here have more details about this beast? Looks like that
would make a nice Lisp success story...

CLOS yes, but not Common Lisp Object System.
Clos Architecture by Charles Clos.
---
"Many switch designs are based on the CLOS architecture, named
after the AT&T Bell Labs researcher Dr. Charles Clos."
"A well-known example of a multistage switching scheme is a Clos network.
Clos networks are common in a variety of telecom and networking systems.
These switching schemes can be implemented in various architectures, depending
on design requirements such as the number of signals, predictability of
connections, and costs.
The basic building block in the Clos architecture is an N-input by N-output
(N x N) crosspoint switch that has the ability to spatially connect
any one of the inputs to one or more of the outputs. In this arrangement,
any pairing of signals between the left and right sides can be achieved.
This arrangement also delivers almost 100% predictability since every
connection made through the switch travels through three stages of
crosspoint switches, resulting in uniform and predictable delays."
