I read about it a while ago but never crossed my mind to use it until now. There is one app I created that works online but have some requests to make it local (intranet). This exposes my source code in several ways I want to avoid, but the customer is right: it will always be online for everyone even if they loose their internet connection for a while.
Instead of installing the app on a server I could install my own server as "all in one solution" for my app, but it increases the cost using only part of the potential of the computer (DVD, CD, HD space, etc). But I could have control over the security to some extent.
Then I remember this device (link to the picture):
One of the sites: [

I could set up a linux server consuming a fraction of the power and without wasting resources, less investment and more security for my app.
I actually had one mini-laptop with an ARM chip, I loved it as a mini server running Debian. These ones are smaller.
Anyone tried these? I'm interested on it for many reasons, specially the security and one in all solution I could give along with my app.
