Cobalt Racks is now offering whay we believe to be
the most powerful cobalt RAQ available anywhere.

A cobalt RA4 with 1 Gig of Ram and an single
80GIG IDE hard disk for $379 per month with a
$299 setup.

These are real cobalt RAQ4 units NOT white boxes.

Also our 512Meg 60Gig RAQ4 and RAQ3 are back.

All will be available on our page by noon tommorow.

What are the advantages of using cobalt RAQ then more expandable/upgradable/powerful white boxes?

I just knew that RAQ can take up to 1GB of memory ...

PS: You haven't mentioned the amount of data transfer/bandwith included in your offer ...

cheers,

Hello,
The bigest advantage to the cobalt is the User
interface. It is much easier to manage for you
and your customers.
Also our offers come with 66Gigs of traffic.

Cobalt Networks, the maker of cobalts, also offers you a free updated security patch page and a lot of online help. Cobalt Racks also gives you a local patch server so that it is quicker.

According to Sun/Cobalt, 512M is the max a RAQ4 can handle. Did you redesign the motherboard to accept 1G?

Hello,
We've added an extra BIOS module and use 2 512Meg DIMMS.
The only cavet is the memory display under the blue C icon
will list 999Megs. (A limit of the cobalt GUI). But running
top from the console will show 1 Gig of memory.
Other information about them and how it's done is proprietary.
Expect more cobalt inovations from CBR shortly
