1. A computing system, comprising: a plurality of cell computers connected via a computer network to form a computing entity, wherein each respective cell computer of the plurality of cell computers is configured to: acquire an Internet Protocol (IP) address assigned to the respective cell computer; interrogate network infrastructure of the computer network to determine an identity of the computing entity and a unique identifier that identifies the respective cell computer based on a unique hierarchical network connectivity location of the respective cell computer in the computer network; announce presence of the respective cell computer in the computing entity identified by the identity by propagating the unique identifier of the respective cell computer to other cell computers in the computing entity; store a list of identifiers of the cell computers currently in the computing entity; receive a computing request to perform an action on a file; divide the computing request into a plurality of operations, each operation of the plurality of operations is associated with an identifier of the list of identifiers of the cell computers currently in the computing entity; determine a subset of operations of the plurality of operations that have a particular identifier that matches the unique identifier assigned to the respective cell computer; and perform the subset of operations of the computing request that have the particular identifier that matches the unique identifier assigned to the respective cell computer.
