Now that you've had your rant, he is talking an embedded system. Remember
that when you contemplate the following. Suppose for a moment that this
is a theatrical lighting console application. (I know of at least one that
runs Linux underneath.) It won't be connected to the Internet, at least
not directly. If the theater's system architect has the brains God gave
a toad or if he's been reading the right lists he'll know to put the
theatrical control Ethernet on its own wires or at least its own virtual
network if glitches can be tolerated. One node would provide for the
business office monitoring of the network with a strong firewall running
on a machine running no services.
OK, that piqued my curiosity enough to make me put away the popcorn. OP's domain was "datacast.com", which didn't bode well for the "disconnected" aspect and one quick look at www.datacast.com seems to confirm that. They make appliances for streaming media content between the content makers and those who are going to broadcast it, some of which are IP enabled, (which fits with the 2TB HDD mentioned - it's probably for local buffering). I doubt very much that data transfer is going to be entirely over private circuits, somehow... Hopefully, yes, given the media business' paranoia over piracy, but in practice - I think not.
