A database appliance is a term coined within the industry that addresses a closed system that only performs database work. These are typically set in remote locations and are used to act as a local database connected into a larger corporate database. A bank branch may have a database appliance that hooks into the corporate system, but is operating principally for the branch. The appliance typically has a reduced set of operating system functions and is a turnkey operation. We can help you with this need. We offer a “database in a box” that allows customers to “drop” database onto a hosted system within our data center. The system is partitioned to allow you complete access to all of your data while keeping others out. Contact us about this low cost solution and we would be happy to provide more information.
