Server (computing) - Usage

Between the 1990s and 2000s an increase
in the use of dedicated hardware saw the
advent of self-contained server

the Google Search Appliance, a unit that
combines hardware and software in an
out-of-the-box packaging. Also produced
were the Cobalt Qube and the RaQ.
Simpler examples of such appliances
include switches, routers, gateways, and
print servers, all of which are available
in a near plug-and-play configuration.
