Thanks for taking the time to visit the site and pose a question. The reference to “with customization” means that an organization did a custom implementation where they tweaked some things in the server OS and/or are in a vertical such as healthcare, legal etc. where they are running highly customized applications that are developed in-house. In these scenarios, we typically find many expert network administrators who are a lot like master mechanics. They know what they’re doing and they fine tune and optimize their environments to the “nth” degree. And this manifests itself in extremely high reliability.
I hope this helps. Please let me know if you need anything else.
