Dell PowerApp Appliance Solution

Server Appliance definition• Internet devices with embedded O/S and

application, that are tuned to deliver specific functionality with minimal administration.

The large accounts and ISP/ASPs are strained to better manage the sheer volume of general-purpose servers. These users constantly attempt to streamline complexities and certain applications installed in their current servers and we therefore believe they will look to appliance servers as a very legitimate solution.

– IDC - Appliance Server Forecast - August, 1999

An integral part of Dell’s server solution strategy
