The real answer to this is being able to cram them into a single chassis which can multiplex the network through a backplane. Something like the HP Moonshot ARM system or the way others like Google build high density compute with integrated Ethernet switching.
I was going to suggest moonshot myself (I walk by a number of moonshot units daily). However it seemed like the systems were already selected and then someone was like "oh yeah, better ask netops how to hook these things we bought and didn't tell anyone about to the interwebz". (I mean that's not a 100% accurate description of my $DAYJOB at all).
In which case, the standard response is "well gee whizz buddy, ya should of bought moonshot jigs. But now you have to buy pallet loads of chassis switches". Hope you have some money left over in your budget.
