Aventurin{e} It is a fully blown Linux operating system that can be installed on any X86 compatible hardware. It provides an intuitive browser based administration interface and allows to create and manage Linux based virtual private servers. Aventurin{e} also includes mechanisms to back up and restore virtual private servers.
Benefits:
Aventurin{e} is ideal for webhosting companies and companies with their own IT infrastructure.
Within a matter of minutes you can create new CentOS + BlueQuartz virtual private servers which cater all your web, email and FTP needs.
Or you can create that CentOS, Fedora Core, Debian, Ubuntu or OpenSuSE virtual private server that your developer needs to deploy his new application. Aventurin{e} also helps you to deploy your own customized Linux operating systems.
Additionally Aventurin{e} helps you to improve your ability for disaster recovery. No longer do you have to provide individual backup mechanisms for each of your servers. Aventurin{e} allows you to back up (and restore!) all its virtual private servers through the GUI interface.
Migrations of virtual private servers from Aventurin{e} - or from any OpenVZ or Virtuozzo host - to another can be done without downtime.
Redundancy:
For those that need high availability and redundancy: Aventurin{e} can do that as well. It is also available in a clustering version which will make sure that your important servers and services are always reachable.
Availability:
Aventurin{e} is available as downloadable and self installable ISO image. Of course you can also buy servers from us (even full clusters) with Aventurin{e} pre-installed and ready to run. You just have to connect the power and network cables and within minutes your own Aventurin{e} Linux Virtualization Appliance is ready to run
To satisfy the broadest and most diverse needs Aventurin{e} is available in two versions:
Aventurin{e} - Standard
Aventurin{e} - Clustering
Both versions allow you to create, administer and run multiple virtual private servers (i.e.: "VPS") on the same hardware (i.e.: "master node").
To run Aventurin{e} you just need a good server which has plenty of RAM. CPU power sure is helpful, but RAM helps quite a bit more. You can order Aventurin{e} either as downloadable ISO image, or you can buy a server (or a complete cluster!) with Aventurin{e} already pre-installed and ready to run.
Hardware requirements:
What kind of hardware you need for Aventurin{e} of course depends on the expected usage. If you just want to run a few low traffic virtual servers, then your hardware can be older and less powerful, as if you run CPU and RAM intensive tasks on many high traffic virtual servers.
This is what we consider the minimum hardware requirements:Intel© Pentium 4 with 2.0 GHz (or similar AMD© CPU) 1 Gig of RAM 1x100 Gigabyte harddisk
Intermediate hardware requirements:Intel© Pentium 4 D6XX with 2.4-3.2 GHz (or similar AMD© CPU) 2 Gig of RAM2x250 Gigabyte harddisks
Recommended hardware requirements for troublefree operations under most adverse situations:Intel© Core2Duo E6600 2.4GHz (or better) 4-8 Gig of RAM2x500 Gigabyte harddisks.
For clustering your server should have two network interfaces. One of them - at least - should ideally be a Gigabit Ethernet interface.

The ISO images of Aventurin{e} comes with the following OS templates included:
CentOS + BlueQuartz v4.7 (NuOnce build)
CentOS v4/Final (minimal install)
Debian v3.1 (minimal install)
Fedora Core v5 (minimal install)

Our Product Configurator allows you to customize your Server Appliance with the type of CPU, hardisk and RAM you need.
We can highly recommend the CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance as worthy sucessor of the RaQ550 or any Cobalt RaQ in particular. It is much faster than a RaQ550. Also, all hardware components readily available from any well sorted computer retail store, so spare parts should never be an issue. The software (OS and GUI) are open source projects with a pretty active developer- and user-base.
