"Datacenters often use technologies not available on regular computers..."
I'm thinking this tech is the domain of supercomputers rather than mere datacenters.

Look up "Host Channel Adapter" and "Infiiniband" HCA. There's various levels depending on the generation and throughput advertised. Some use PCI-e, some are undoubtedly a special HCA slot on the modules themselves. Someone that's more familiar with current HPC system hardware will probably be able to correct and expand on what's going on. My personal knowledge is antiquated at this point.
