Yippy, Inc. (YIPI)

[ESP24]

I can tell you from the picture of the appliance posted here on Ihub the server they were utilizing in the instance was a Dell PowerEdge server.

An appliance just indicates that it is a server being utilized and in some case hardware modified to host a specific software so that it can be integrated into a data center or product that would utilize the software on the appliance to execute the required task needed for the intended function.

For example,

Redbox is a product that is essentially a server "appliance" created to allow you to rent movies/games from their vendor machines.

Many larger technology vendors IE. HP, Dell, IBM etc have whitebox programs for companies allowing them to utilize their already created hardware platforms and work to modify, test, and create an appliance based on the partners specific need.
