The software is the hub IMO :)

The rest of the system is spokes, wheels and tires.

Of course, it all depends on where you're sitting. I still vividly
recall (more than 20 years later) having the power system guy explaining
the power system on a large (designed for over 1000 processors, we
tested around 250) multiprocessor system to me, a software guy who had
to interface with it. He drew a schematic that went into great detail
on the front panel LEDs, the built-in UPS, and the rest of the power
system. The remainder of the system (hundreds of processors, maybe
thousands of disk drives, gigabytes of memory) was denoted as a large
resistive load...
