The difference between enterprise software and other software is that 
enterprise software is capable of being managed centrally. You can configure 
it and maintain it and check its health while it's running, centrally, 
without being there.

Do you get paged when your web server goes down? Can you configure how much 
traffic has to dip before you get woken up at night? Can you get a list of 
the people who are allowed to see a particular page? Can you track down 
which ISP is at fault when the traffic to your site dips 20%? When serving 
pages is slow, can you tell which part of the system is causing it? A bad 
disk sector? A flakey network card?
