SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- NETmachines, Inc., the fastest growing Linux-based, thin-server appliance manufacturer, today announced that a significant investment from Wired & Wireless Global Communication Corporation has enabled NETmachines to expand operations into the European market. This investment includes an active involvement by Wired & Wireless to support European sales, marketing, manufacturing and logistics operations.
"To expand operations, including sales and marketing into Europe, is an critical step in the NETmachines growth strategy.

"With our international experience and NETmachines' leading Internet and e-commerce solutions, we see tremendous opportunity to provide European ISPs and businesses with solutions that have no equal in the market today."
Within the next 30 days, NETmachines' RedRak(TM) server appliances will become available to distributors in Germany and the UK. These servers have already passed rigorous U.S. and international testing and certifications with FCC class B, UL, CE, TUV and CSA. This level of certification signals that RedRak servers can be shipped to almost every country around the world.

with a proven, reliable and non-proprietary design that leverages an Intel
chipset architecture.
RedRak servers are ideal for ISPs and businesses that
