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
