Some turnkey servers address high-end needs, such as rolling out localized Web applications, by bundling development platforms.
Remote management remains weak, making large-scale deployments to remote offices difficult.
Web customization at remote sites is critical as all offices don't need access to the same information. Building a localized Web portal on the local Internet appliance makes good sense, and some products include front-page extensions, making editing a snap. To stave off the need for more bandwidth back to the central office, you should deploy some Web-based applications at your remote sites. With the increased availability of broadband technologies, some turnkey appliances no longer provide WAN access and connectivity within the server. Now ISPs and broadband suppliers often provide DHCP services over the WAN connection.
