The HP e-Commerce/XML Server Accelerator SA7150 is typically
used with multiple servers although it can support multiple
applications running on separate ports of a single server. In single
server configurations the SA7150 is connected to the network
between the router and the server.
Ideally, the SA7150 is installed in the network in such a way as to
minimize network latency.

In the more common multiple server configuration, the SA7150 sits
between the router and the switch. XML traffic is intercepted,
decrypted (if SSL-encrypted), processed, and sent to an XML server.
