Today digital home services such as media servers, file sharing and backup software all need to be installed on a PC. A plug computer is a small, powerful computer that connects to an existing network using Gigabit Ethernet. This type of device eliminates the need for an always-on PC in the digital home to access these services.
The SheevaPlug is a development platform, targeted for use as a plug computer, and designed to run network-based software services. It features a

Kirkwood Series SoC with an embedded Marvell Sheeva™ CPU core running at 1.2 GHz. This device connects to the network using GbE, offers desktop class

performance, and can be used to replace a PC-based home server for many applications. Peripherals connect using the included USB 2.0 port.
