The line between proprietary hardware and "regular servers" is kind of
blurry. Some companies manufacture proprietary cards and put them in a
commodity PC server.
A couple of previous employers sold software as "appliances,"
pre-installed on commodity PC servers. This greatly reduced the amount
of time time developers had to spend coding for variations in
operating systems and device drivers.
