BarracudaDrive is a secure application server with an integrated scripting language, database engine, WebDAV server, Web File Manager, tiny SSL server, HTTPS tunnel, and various SLL VPN clients for the HTTPS tunnel. The server also comes with an easy to use Content Management System (Web Page Creator) and an Electronic Bulletin Board.

An application server, which should not be confused with a web server, is an operating system that can load and start auxiliary applications.

The FOX Board runs the Linux operating system on an ETRAX 100LX microprocessor (100MIPS RISC CPU). The 66 x 72 mm (2.6 x 2.8 inches) Fox Board contains 8MB of FLASH and 32MB of RAM. The FOX Board can be purchased from ACME systems for 139 EUR.

FOX Board has two main field applications:

* As a stand alone device to serve as a powerful and reliable application server.

* As a core engine to plug onto the PCB of a user application board instead of a simple micro controller.
