“With the ever increasing demands on the network, management is
more necessary than ever. These emerging companies help you tackle
various network managment issues….”
“Low cost and ease of use are the differentiators for Cobalt
Networks Inc.’s Web servers. Cobalt, in Mountain View, Calif.,
doesn’t sell just hardware. Its Qube and RaQ products are turnkey
systems that include a Linux operating system, Apache Web server
software and e-mail and page-creation tools. SimpleNet, a division
of Santa Clara, Calif.-based Yahoo Inc., uses Cobalt’s RaQ hosting
solution as the platform for its virtual-hosting customers.”
“The relationship with Cobalt has let us provide a user
interface that maintains our goal of keeping Web hosting simple and
useful,” says Allen Cocumelli, chief operating officer at
SimpleNet. The benefit is that by virtually hosting their site on
SimpleNet’s RaQ servers, instead of maintaining their own hardware,
customers can easily scale up their sites as their business
grows.”
