"purpose-specific" server (server appliance) market. They deliver innovative server solutions for OEM, VAR, ISP, and IT professionals. Server appliances are a new category of "plug-in and forget" infrastructure devices intended for environments with high performance and scalability needs, and intended for basic to advanced users. Server appliances differ from general-purpose servers, which are designed to support a broad range of applications and are not optimized for any particular network service. Their server appliance software enables organizations that could not previously deploy an industrial-strength online presence to do so easily, securely, reliably, and cost-effectively. As the number of companies doing business over the Internet increases, they believe the demand for server appliances will continue to grow.
