Plug computer

Marvell Technology Group's SheevaPlug plug computer in action
CloudPlug, a plug computer developed by CTERA Networks
Seagate Dockstar, a plug computer similar to the SheevaPlug

A plug computer is a small form factor computer server for use in the home or office. The name is derived from the small form factor of such devices: plug computers are often enclosed in an AC power plug or AC adapter.

Suitable for running a media server, back-up services, file sharing and remote access functions, such devices can be used as a bridge between in-home protocols such as Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) and Server Message Block (SMB) and cloud based services.

Plug computers typically consume little power and are inexpensive. One manufacturer claims its $119 plug computer draws 1.2 watts and can cost $2 a year to run.[1] The low cost of plug computers has led to a proposed "Freedom Box", an always-on home server configured to keep communication private in the face of government surveillance.[2]
