Expected to list from around £22,500, ACE is designed to front-end browser-based applications running on a server-farm. It includes capabilities such as SSL offload, web proxy, load balancing and security - for example, it can scrub incoming requests to remove buffer overflows and deliberately malformed queries so they never reach the servers.

After reading this the thought of how many they might need and costs when the company shares are spirrelling down again. Most likely some old slow PCs plugged into BTs network using linux to do the job.
