About the Intel
®
NetStructure™ 1300 Series
Storefront Appliance
The Intel ® NetStructure™ 1300 Series Storefront Appliance is a complete e-
Commerce hosting platform that combines the proven reliability and unparalleled
performance of Intel components, the flexibility of Open Source Internet services
software, integrated e-Commerce application and payment cartridge software,
and the convenience of remote administration through a Web-based interface.
The storefront appliance delivers all the configurable Internet services you
need—Web hosting, e-Commerce, mail, file transfer, telnet, SSL, SSH, scripting
support, and more—in a pre-configured rack-mountable unit.
The storefront appliance is designed to provide Internet service providers (ISPs)
and data centers with an out-of-the-box solution that can be quickly and easily
deployed to offer their customers a comprehensive suite of network and e-
Commerce hosting services. These services are available for any networking
environment including your intranet, extranet, or across the Internet. Key
capabilities include:
Online store hosting—the 1301 storefront appliance provides a dedicated
hosting platform for a single store. Additionally, the 1305 and 1320 appliance
models can host five or 20 stores respectively.
E-Commerce services are available through pre-installed Intershop 4 Merchant*
software. For more information about setting up and configuring e-Commerce
services, see “Configuring e-Commerce services.”
Virtual site hosting
Both name-based and IP-based hosting are supported through implementation of
HTTP v1.1.
User management—administrators have absolute control of user accounts on
their system. Add and remove users, restrict access, customize network services
such as mail and FTP, and allocate disk space for each user.
Web publishing—the appliance enables site administrators and end users to
publish Web content with any FTP application. Additionally, support for standard
scripting languages such as PERL, PHP, and FrontPage* Server Extensions lets
you create interactive content on the Web.
