hardware you can purchase from Google and install behind your firewall.

AppExchange API 7.0
With the Winter ’06 release, salesforce.com is upgrading the
AppExchange API (previously known as the Sforce Web services API). As
always, considerable effort has been made to ensure backward
compatibility for applications that have been written against previous
versions of the SOAP API, starting with API 2.5. (Note: older XML-RPC
APIs should remain unchanged with this release.) The new AppExchange
API 7.0 provides a number of powerful enhancements that further improve
any integration already in place between Salesforce and your other
systems.
This feature is available in Enterprise and Unlimited Edition.
Import Wizard with De-Duplication
Import is receiving major enhancements in the Summer ’05 release in
response to customer feedback. De-duplication functionality for leads
and contacts helps you keep your Salesforce data clean. In addition, we
have made significant improvements in import performance.

Apex Data Loader
Prior to Summer ’05, loading data in Salesforce was accomplished
through import wizards or by using Apex API directly. The Apex data
loader is an easy-to-use, highly scalable data management tool that can
perform large uploads of data, mass updates, mass deletes, and exports
for any object (Salesforce, Supportforce, and custom objects).
This feature is available in Enterprise and Unlimited Editions.
