Abstract
An application services platform includes a platform chassis, a network interface supported by the platform chassis, and a control circuit supported by the platform chassis and coupled to the network interface. The control circuit is arranged to connect to a network through the network interface, and receive an application service command from a user. The application service command gives the control circuit permission to provide an application service to an application running on a server on the network. The control circuit is further arranged to provide the application service to the application running on the server on the network in response to receipt of the application service command. The application services platform is capable of being provided in the form of an appliance-style device which is simply added as a new device on the network.
