I guess it's so companies can drop a box like this on to their network and have a dedicated search system for files/data contained on their internal network.
Probably quite useful in a large company!

...El Reg hasn't just regurgitated a press release has it? For shame!
If only I could do something about my SME's document searching requirements...that doesn't impact upon firewall security ...Any ideas? Anyone?
Bueller?

It lists Domino and Notes, can it also do bog standard Exchange and Outlook as well? If so, it would make a very nice and simple means of doing those email searches and retrievals when someone is waving a court writ at you. Is BAe on the customer list....?

It's Google's software running on Dell Poweredge 2950 rackmount servers; the title has just a smidge of irony, OK?

I should say so! That one's going to stand out in a rack now.
Looks to me like someone's had a particularly nasty tummy problem after a couple of weeks on a paella and custard diet. I'd be looking to hide it behind a tape safe or something else suitably large, dull and opaque.
"Boy racer" stylie servers. Who'd have thunk it?
