Is there OLE provider drivers for a production web server that can be installed without installing the full office app?

I have a web application that creates a connection to an OLE DB provider. It allows you to upload .xls/.xlsx files to the server which get the data gets stripped out to datatable which eventually is passed to a stored procedure.

I was told about free ACE 2010 drivers. The only link I could find was the following, but if this is the free ACE drivers, it states on there about not using this for a production web server as if its strictly for development.

Is there drivers I can install on the server that wouldn't require me installing the Excel application?
