“Cobalt Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: COBT), a leading provider of
server appliances, today introduced the RaQ 4r, the fourth
generation of the RaQ. The RaQ 4r is an advanced server
appliance with integrated powerful development tools, applications,
and database in a reliable low-cost solution. The RaQ 4r offers a
full suite of Internet and application services that makes the
deployment of applications and layered services over the Web quick
and easy.”
“Cobalt developed the RaQ 4r to meet the needs of Web developers
who require a reliable platform for deploying their server-based
applications. With support for popular dynamic-content languages
and a pre-installed database and Redundant Array Of Independent
Disks (RAID), users have the tools they need to start developing
industrial-strength Web applications almost immediately after an IP
address is assigned to the box.”
“RaQ 4r is an important release for the RaQ product family,”
said Kelly Herrell, vice- president of marketing, Cobalt Networks,
Inc. “Cobalt continues to develop true server appliances that meet
the needs of our customers, unlike many general-purpose boxes that
are marketed as server appliances. Cobalt believes RaQ 4r includes
native functionality that leapfrogs other offerings at a fraction
of their total cost of ownership.” Through the inclusion of
technologies such as Chili!Soft ASP, RAID 1 (disk mirroring), PHP,
and a powerful database platform from InterBase, RaQ 4r customers
and developers are able to build on leading-edge development
technologies while leveraging their existing tools and skill sets.
Cobalt included these fully integrated development tools on the RaQ
4r to enable it to serve as an ideal appliance platform for the
rapid development and deployment of Internet and network-based
applications.”
