# Is this an appliance or software that runs on an existing server?

#### Question

Is this an appliance or software that runs on an existing server?

#### Answer

SecureSchool is a hardware/software combination. The hardware part is an Intel manufactured Internet appliance. What that means is a 1U Rackmountable server. It is approximately the size of a pizza box and does not have, nor does it require, a keyboard, mouse or monitor. It is administered with a web browser.
