An embedded web server is a web server that is incorporated into another product. QEWS is Quiotix's embedded web server, and the world's first modular web server. Embedding a web server allows a product to contain its own user interface, in the form of web pages.
Users interact with the product using standard web browsers.
The web supports rich, powerful interfaces that can be self-documenting and very easy to use. An embedded web server is ideal for network management, particularly in workgroup propducts where SNMP is inappropriate. SNMP management stations are generally complex and expensive, meaning that many smaller networks will not have one. They have large memory footprints and many features that are not relevant to embedded systems. QEWS, or the Quiotix Embedded WebServer, is the world's first modular web server.
