The DMZ is used for things like web server, proxy servers, and e-mail servers. The purpose of putting the computer in the DMZ is to separate it from the rest of your network, that way it can't directly communicate with it. This provides protection for if it is compromised the only computer that can be accessed is the one in the DMZ and not the others on the network.
