Proxmox VE is a excellent virtualization solution, and has numerous strengths that make it suitable for deployment in many environments. The tight integration of OpenVZ and KVM based virtualization, along with an easy to use web-based management interface make this solution stand out in the virtualization space.

roxmox has to be the most remarkable example of "under the radar" software. This was an instant (or the closest you'll ever get in a production environment) close to "no brainer" decision we've made in a long time. One morning of testing followed by a day of torture testing (to see if we could break stuff) was all it took - and we're well known for being extraordinarily picky about what we deploy!!

Proxmox is a painless virtualization and management solution. Lightweight, flexible, stable, unobtrusive, and splendidly supported by a first class group of people on the forums. We migrated all our OpenVZ VE's to proxmox effortlessly. We used KVM to install a windows server instance on the same host as a bunch of Linux VE's! (Yes, that still feels weird!) The degree of integration between KVM and OpenVZ is remarkable.

The web management interface is a joy to use. Sensibly and intuitively designed. it has almost everything necessary for one stop server farm management. It's lightweight, quick, informative, easy on the eyes with an absence of "gee whiz" eye candy, and has a solid "feel" to it lacking in "some other solutions" out there.

One feature that may not be apparent until you've been using the software for a while is that you can delegate a significant amount of repetitive server management tasks to less knowledgeable staff. No longer does it have to be the organization übergeek who is the sole command line pilot for ve creation and management. A competent individual can do almost all management tasks within the web interface without any difficulty. Invisible savings like that mount up over time!

We donated almost immediately, we intend to do so again, and we strongly encourage others to do the same. This is money well spent! Do it! Tell colleagues about this solution, the more widely deployed it is, the better for everyone.

A huge thank you to the Proxmox team for a really first class product, and for setting an example of how software product support should be in the real world. Thanks Guys!

Once in a while - and it's not often - a piece of software comes along which changes the game completely. Proxmox is a game changer.

Since several years we also deliver the same services for CentOS + BlueQuartz server appliances. They are the open source successor of the original Cobalt RaQs and offer a much more secure and more modern hosting platform than the original RaQ's, the next generation of BlueQuartz server appliance software. BlueOnyx is a Linux distribution (based on CentOS v5.2) which aims at delivering a turnkey server appliance for webhosting. It comes with a web based GUI interface which allows you (and your email, FTP and webhosting clients!) to manage most aspects of the server, its sites and accounts through a browser based interface. It is open source software, released under a Sun modified BSD license. Development of Aventurin, which is a Linux Virtualization Appliance. Aventurin allows you - with the same ease as on a Cobalt RaQ, BlueQuartz or BlueOnyx server - to create and manage virtual private servers. These virtual private servers can even run different Linux distributions. So on one Aventurin master node you can run multiple different Linux distributions side by side. This makes it ideal for ISPs or companies with their own IT infrastructure, as you can utilize your existing hardware in the most efficient fashion. We offer Aventurin as downloadable ISO image, but also sell servers (and even clusters!) with Aventurin pre-installed. We also offer server migrations, Linux consulting and troubleshooting related to these appliances and we manufacture custom tailored CentOS + BlueQuartzserver appliances in house. We have put together a lot of software packages designed with the unique demands in mind which anyone who operates such a server appliance might have. Aside from commercially bundled software we also offer free downloads of ready to run PKG or RPM files. Our hardware and software is designed to ensure a trouble free, relieable and secure operation of your server appliance - may that be an old Sun Cobalt RaQ, Qube, XTR, RaQ550 or a new Centos + BlueQuartz or BlueOnyx server. We also help out to troubleshoot specific issues which one might have with a server appliance and help with server migrations, installation of third party software or check servers for compromises and root kits. Still if you have any Sun Cobalt RAQ's or Qube's Servers we have in stock servers, spare parts and all additional free and commertial software.

Virtualization of the IT back room has already helped enterprises simplify, consolidate, and realize new flexibility and performance in server farms, data storage, and networks. According to IDC, some 75 percent of enterprises employ virtualization technology in production processes, indicating its widespread acceptance. However, IT managers continue to feel pressure to reduce even further the costs of IT infrastructure and to increase the ROI—the value—of IT spending by expanding its use to the entire enterprise technology toolset

CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance is built on the community version of Redhat Enterprise Linux called Centos.

RAQport ships all the systems listed below worldwide.

This server appliance uses CentOS as operating system. As GUI interface it uses BlueQuartz, which is based on the open sourced RaQ550 Sausalito architecture from Sun Cobalt.

Sites, users, mailing lists and settings can directly be imported with the built in CMU from any Cobalt RaQ. So this is an inexpensive way to trade the aging Cobalt RaQs against much more modern hard- and software, while retaining the well known functionality and GUI interface.

A CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance can do everything a RaQ550 and it does it much faster. A CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance can do all including Frontpage. We do not have Chilisoft ASP at this moment ) - The serial ATA hardisks have a throughput of approximately 50 MBit/seconds and even the basic model with a 2.8GHz CPU outperforms a RaQ550 by several magnitudes.

Aside from the speed there are other compelling reasons to consider replacing existing RaQ3, RaQ4, XTR and RaQ550 with a CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance

The sudden demise of the Sun Cobalt RaQ has left ISPs and hosting companies with a time bomb: hundreds of thousands of RaQ servers worldwide starting to wear out – with no viable replacement. Fortunately, Linux specialists have the answer.

We still have over 100 units of the SUN COBALT RAQ 2 RAQ 3 RAQ 4 RAQ 550 RAQ XTR and Qubes.

In short:

* It is "BlueQuartz" on CentOS 5.3 and then some.

* Has previously commercial add ons pre-installed, including ...

* phpMyAdmin

* Web based Email

* GUI to automatically create and remove MySQL users and databases for sites.

* Subdomain management

* Better PHP security management on a per site basis.
* New default skin for the GUI.

* Working vacation messages.
* Updated Dovecot and ProFTPd.

* JSP support already built in with an improved GUI.

* YUM updates are delivered through various mirrors right from the start.

* Is still available free of charge and released under Sun modified BDS license.

* Comes with PHP5 and MySQL5 preinstalled.

* GUI to modify SSHd settings (root access, port, protocols)

* GUI available in English, German, Danish and Japanese.

If you still need RAQ3 AND RAQ4 we have over 100 Units we can preeload the Strongbolt Centos BlueQuartz OS prices start with $79.00 OS Restore Included

Replacement for the SUN COBALT RAQ LINE New Centos BluQuartz Virtualization and Cluster Web Servers

What is Aventurin{e}?

Aventurin{e} 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.

Aventurin{e} downloadable ISO image - details:

Aventurin{e} is available in two different 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.

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:

IntelC Pentium 4 with 2.0 GHz (or similar AMDC CPU)

1 Gig of RAM

1x100 Gigabyte harddisk

Intermediate hardware requirements:

IntelC Pentium 4 D6XX with 2.4-3.2 GHz (or similar AMDC CPU)

2 Gig of RAM

2x250 Gigabyte harddisks

Recommended hardware requirements for troublefree operations under most adverse situations:

IntelC Core2Duo E6600 2.4GHz (or better)

4-8 Gig of RAM

2x500 Gigabyte harddisks.

For clustering your server should have two network interfaces. One of them - at least - should ideally be a Gigabit Ethernet interface.

Included OS templates:

The ISO images of Aventurin{e} comes with the following OS templates

included:

CentOS + BlueQuartz v4.8 (NuOnce build) CentOS v4/Final (minimal install) Debian v3.1 (minimal install) Fedora Core v5 (minimal install)

OS templates available through YUM:

Additional OS templates are available on the Aventurin{e} update repository and can be installed with the command "yum install ". The following OS templates are currently available this way (more will be added later):

CentOS v4 (default install)

CentOS v5 (minimal install)

CentOS v5 (default install)

BlueOnyx is a Linux distribution (based on CentOS v5.2) which aims at delivering a turnkey server appliance for webhosting. It comes with a web based GUI interface which allows you (and your email, FTP and webhosting clients!) to manage most aspects of the server, its sites and accounts through a browser based interface. It is open source software, released under a Sun modified BSD license.

BlueOnyx is a modernized fork of BlueQuartz. A lot of improvements and enhancements (compared to a regular BlueQuartz) went into BlueOnyx. Including support for Java Servlet Pages, built in web based email, phpMyAdmin for you and your webhosting clients and provisions to automatically create MySQL databases and users for each virtual site.

As driving force behind BlueOnyx we're of course also porting all our existing BlueQuartz add-on software to BlueOnyx and will (while we're at it) modernize and extend it.

Customers who already have a BlueQuartz server with our software can upgrade the BlueQuartz version of our software to the latest BlueOnyx versions at the usual upgrade prices ($33.00 per PKG).

We will also offer special upgrade bundles up upgrade existing BlueQuartz servers to BlueOnyx - including an upgrade of all installed Solarspeed.net add-on software.

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.

Clustering:
When you are running mission critical servers and can afford next to no downtime, then clustering is the answer.

Aventurin{e} is available in a clustering version, which allows you to set up two servers to perform this task. This product comes as fully configured cluster - with two MSI P1-105A server chassis and with Aventurin{e} pre-installed and ready to run

How it works:
Ideally you have two identical servers. Each of them has two harddisks which do RAID 1 - either software RAID or hardware RAID. Both of these servers - or lets call them "Master Nodes" - are connected to each other by a crossover ethernet cable that plugs into the network interface "eth1" on both servers.

Additionally each server is connected to your switch or router that connects them to your LAN or to the Internet.

Both "Master Nodes" have one "shared" partition which is mirrored through "Raid over Ethernet". So all data that on this shared partition is constantly mirrored - not only on the internal RAID 1 that each server does by itself. It is also mirrored over to the other "Master Node" over the eth1 network interface.

During normal operation only "Master Node 1" has this shared partition mounted. All virtual private servers are stored in this shared partition and run out of it. So "Master Node 1" is serving all Web-, Email, FTP and other services off the virtual private servers that it provides.

"Master Node 2" just sits there and waits. Periodically (like one time each second) it monitors if "Master Node 1" is still alive and doing what it is supposed to do.

If "Master Node 2" realizes that "Master Node 1" is dead (for whatever reason), then it will mount the shared partition and will serve all virtual private servers.

To the casual observer it will look like there was a minor network glitch, but then he can continue to browse the webpage that he was visiting, or do whatever task on the virtual private server that he was visiting at the time.

As soon as "Master Node 1" returns back from the dead, "Master Node 2" will spot this. Both servers will negotiate and will arrange that the data of the shared partition is re-synchronized - so that both are fully up to date on all changes again.

What happenes next can be configured in Aventurin{e}'s GUI interface. You can configure that either "Master

SIRIUS and XM to Combine in $13 Billion Merger of Equals
Provides Consumers with Enhanced Content, Greater Choices and Accelerated Technological Innovation

Enables Satellite Radio to Better Compete in Rapidly Evolving Audio Entertainment Industry

Extraordinary Value Creation for Shareholders

Mel Karmazin to Serve as Chief Executive Officer and Gary Parsons to Serve as Chairman of Combined Company

WASHINGTON and NEW YORK, Feb. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- XM Satellite Radio (NASDAQ: XMSR) and SIRIUS Satellite Radio (NASDAQ: SIRI) today announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement, under which the companies will be combined in a tax-free, all-stock merger of equals with a combined enterprise value of approximately $13 billion, which includes net debt of approximately $1.6 billion.

Under the terms of the agreement, XM shareholders will receive a fixed exchange ratio of 4.6 shares of SIRIUS common stock for each share of XM they own. XM and SIRIUS shareholders will each own approximately 50 percent of the combined company.

Mel Karmazin, currently Chief Executive Officer of SIRIUS, will become Chief Executive Officer of the combined company and Gary Parsons, currently Chairman of XM, will become Chairman of the combined company. The new company's board of directors will consist of 12 directors, including Messrs. Karmazin and Parsons, four independent members designated by each company, as well as one representative from each of General Motors and American Honda. Hugh Panero, the Chief Executive Officer of XM, will continue in his current role until the anticipated close of the merger.

The combined company will benefit from a highly experienced management team from both companies with extensive industry knowledge in radio, media, consumer electronics, OEM engineering and technology. Further management appointments will be announced prior to closing. The companies will continue to operate independently until the transaction is completed and will work together to determine the combined company's corporate name and headquarters location prior to closing.

The combination creates a nationwide audio entertainment provider with combined 2006 revenues of approximately $1.5 billion based on analysts' consensus estimates. Today the companies have approximately 14 million combined subscribers. Together, SIRIUS and XM will create a stronger platform for future innovation within the audio entertainment industry and will provide significant benefits to all constituencies, including:

* Greater Programming and Content Choices -- The combined company is
committed to consumer choice, including offering consumers the ability
to pick and choose the channels and content they want on a more a la
carte basis. The combined company will also provide consumers with a
broader selection of content, including a wide range of commercial-free
music channels, exclusive and non-exclusive sports coverage, news,
talk, and entertainment programming. Together, XM and SIRIUS will be
able to improve on products such as real-time traffic and rear-seat
video and introduce new ones such as advanced data services including
enhanced traffic, weather and infotainment offerings.

* Accelerated Technological Innovation -- The merger will enable the
combined company to develop and introduce a wider range of lower cost,
easy-to-use, and multi-functional devices through efficiencies in chip
set and radio design and procurement. Such innovation is essential to
remaining competitive in the consumer electronics-driven world of audio
entertainment.

* Benefits to OEM and Retail Partners -- The combined company will offer
automakers and retailers the opportunity to provide a broader content
offering to their customers. Consumer electronics retailers, including
Best Buy, Circuit City, RadioShack, Wal-Mart and others, will benefit
from enhanced product offerings that should allow satellite radio to
compete more effectively.

* Enhanced Financial Performance -- This transaction will enhance the
long-term financial success of satellite radio by allowing the combined
company to better manage its costs through sales and marketing and
subscriber acquisition efficiencies, satellite fleet synergies, combined
R&D and other benefits from economies of scale. Wall Street equity
analysts have published estimates of the present value of cost synergies
ranging from $3 billion to $7 billion.

* More Competitive Audio Entertainment Provider -- The combination of an
enhanced programming lineup with improved technology, distribution and
financials will better position satellite radio to compete for
consumers' attention and entertainment dollars against a host of
products and services in the highly competitive and rapidly evolving
audio entertainment marketplace. In addition to existing competition
from free "over-the-air" AM and FM radio as well as iPods and mobile
phone streaming, satellite radio will face new challenges from the rapid
growth of HD Radio, Internet radio and next generation wireless
technologies."We are excited for the many opportunities that an XM and SIRIUS combination will provide consumers," said Gary Parsons, Chairman of XM Satellite Radio and Hugh Panero, CEO of XM Satellite Radio, in a joint statement. "The combined company will be better positioned to compete effectively with the continually expanding array of entertainment alternatives that consumers have embraced since the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) first granted our satellite radio licenses a decade ago."

"This combination is the next logical step in the evolution of audio entertainment," said Mel Karmazin, CEO of SIRIUS Satellite Radio. "Together, our best-in-class management team and programming content will create unprecedented choice for consumers, while creating long-term value for shareholders of both companies. The combined company will be positioned to capitalize on SIRIUS and XM's complementary distribution and licensing agreements to enhance availability of satellite radios, offer expanded content to subscribers, drive increased advertising revenue and reduce expenses. Each of our companies has a strong commitment to providing listeners the broadest range of music, news, sports and entertainment and the best customer service possible. We look forward to sharing the benefits of the exciting new growth opportunities this combination will provide with all of our stakeholders."

The transaction is subject to approval by both companies' shareholders, the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and regulatory review and approvals, including antitrust agencies and the FCC. Pending regulatory approval, the companies expect the transaction to be completed by the end of 2007.

SIRIUS's financial advisor on the transaction is Morgan Stanley and Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP and Wiley Rein LLP are acting as legal counsel. XM's financial advisor on the transaction is J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and Skadden Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP; Jones Day; and Latham & Watkins LLP are acting as legal counsel.

CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance is built on the community version of Redhat Enterprise Linux called Centos.
RAQport ships all the systems listed below worldwide.
This server appliance uses CentOS as operating system. As GUI interface it uses BlueQuartz, which is based on the open sourced RaQ550 Sausalito architecture from Sun Cobalt.
Sites, users, mailing lists and settings can directly be imported with the built in CMU from any Cobalt RaQ. So this is an inexpensive way to trade the aging Cobalt RaQs against much more modern hard- and software, while retaining the well known functionality and GUI interface.
A CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance can do everything a RaQ550 and it does it much faster. A CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance can do all including Frontpage. We do not have Chilisoft ASP at this moment ) - The serial ATA hardisks have a throughput of approximately 50 MBit/seconds and even the basic model with a 2.8GHz CPU outperforms a RaQ550 by several magnitudes.
Aside from the speed there are other compelling reasons to consider replacing existing RaQ3, RaQ4, XTR and RaQ550 with a CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance
The sudden demise of the Sun Cobalt RaQ has left ISPs and hosting companies with a time bomb: hundreds of thousands of RaQ servers worldwide starting to wear out – with no viable replacement. Fortunately, Linux specialists have the answer.

BlueQuartz Software and Support Package (lease to own)
BlueQuartz Software and Support Package (lease to own)Code: SoftwareSupportandupdatesPrice: $70.00
Of course you can buy your BlueQuartz software from us and we will also install it for free on your server. After such a one time purchase you fully own the software. Some of it (like the AV-SPAM) may even auto-update some of its components (like SpamAssassin and Clam AV) through YUM.
However, the rest of the software remains static. But certain extra software should be kept as current as possible to both prevent security issues as well as to make use of the latest code improvements.
This is particularly true for extra software such as PHP, MySQL and phpMyAdmin (for which a recent exploit was published). As we constantly improve our software and add new features and functions to it, you may also be missing out on some improvements to other - less critical - software.
Of course you could (and still can) always order an upgrade of a certain package for $45.00 and/or order a reinstall of the software.
However, to further improve your customer experience we are now also offering our software in a lease to own model. Furthermore we are also making support bundles available that contain 24/7 automated monitoring of your server, controlled patching, proactive support measures and monthly security audits.
Your benefits:
Pay for the desired software in small monthly rates.
As soon as a new version is released, you get the updates installed through us.
Additional support options are available (monthly checkups, controlled patching, automated 24/7 server monitoring)
The following options are available:
BlueQuartz Software Support Models
Included services (per server or VPS):
Standard:
Premium:
Enterprise:
PHP5:

We install the latest available PHP5 version on your server and will keep it fully updated to the latest available version - custom built for BlueQuartz and with all security tweaks (as listed here).
MySQL5:

Get MySQL5 for BlueQuartz from us and we will keep it always at the latest version available from us.
phpMyAdmin:

phpMyAdmin is frequently updated to extend it with more features, but also to close security holes. Staying current on it is therefore advised. Hence we will update your phpMyAdmin install as required.
APF and BFD:

The Advanced Packet Firewall and Brute Force Detector extend your server with means to limit access to your server (Firewall) and means to automatically detect and to block brute force attacks (BFD).
AV-SPAM:

Our AV-SPAM uses SpamAssassin, Clam AV, Greylisting and Sendmail based Milters to detect, quarantine and/or delete SPAM and virus emails. It can be easily configured through the GUI interface for and by each individual user.
OpenWebmail:

Web based email for BlueQuartz. Allows your users to read and write emails by using a browser based interface.
AWStats:

Our install of the Advanced Web Statistics (AWStats) is fully integrated with the BlueQuartz GUI interface and provides web statistics for all virtual sites. Exploits for older versions of AWStats are known and keeping it as up to date as possible is usually advised.
Automated Backup:

The Automated Backup provides easy means to back up and restore sites and users of a BlueQuartz server. It also fully integrates with the GUI and allows individual users and site admins to restore their own data through the GUI.
eyeOS web based desktop:

Web based Linux desktop for BlueQuartz with full GUI integration and installable on any virtual site.
Expert Server Monitoring:

We will tie your server into our Zenoss station to provide automated 24/7 monitoring for monitoring its health and status. This allows us to proactively react to problems that may affect the stability and health of your server. When such problems are detected, we will both notify you as well as login to your server to troubleshoot those issues for you.
Controlled Manual Patching:

Whenever a larger amount of patches is released upstream (CentOS and/or BlueQuartz) we will perform a controlled and monitored manual patching of your server. That way we ensure that it stays fully up to date and that the patches have no negative side effects.
Monthly Security Review:

Once a month we will perform a checkup of your server to evaluate risks of exploit and to make sure that the server has not been compromised. During this we of course cannot examine all web based applications that may be installed in virtual sites or user account webspace. However, we will check for the presence of known exploitable scripts or configuration issues that may be a contributing factor in potential future exploits.
Priority Support:

Should you detect any problems with you server or its services, then we guarantee a six hour turn around time to troubleshoot the issue for you (please allow twelve hours on weekends). Two (non-billable) support hours per server and per month are included. Unused free support hours expire at the end of a month. Are additional support hours needed - beyond the included two hours - then each extra hour costs $75.00,- instead of the usual $120.00.
Price per month and per server. 12 months minimum contract duration):
$70.00
$110.00
$199.00
These prices are excluding 19% German VAT and are per each BlueQuartz server (virtual or physical). Minimum contract term is 12 months. After 12 months the contract can be cancelled at any time at the end of the month. The "Enterprise" support package (if ordered for a BlueQuartz VPS on Aventurin{e)) includes monitoring of the Aventurin{e} master node as well. For new clients without prior business relationship we may require a deposit payment in advance (covering the first six months, then monthly payment for the rest of the contract duration).
Requirements and how it works:
Upon ordering you will supply us with the login details of your BlueQuartz server. We will then login to the server by SSH and through the GUI to install the ordered software contained in the support package. For easy maintenance and updates of the software we will also install an SSH key, which allows us to access your server without knowing your login credentials. So you can change the server password at any time afterwards if you wish. Whenever a new version of our software comes out, we will login to your server to update that component to the latest version and to test out that everything related to that update works as desired.
Enterprise package only:
We will also configure the SNMP module of your BlueQuartz to allow access for our Zenoss monitoring station. That will allow us to monitor the health of your server without logging in and that way we can pro-actively react if your servers health requires it. On such events we will notify you of our findings and of what steps we have taken. Or what further steps may be required from you. Once each month we will also perform a security audit of your server to make sure that you are safe from currently known threats and exploits. During this audit (or sooner if required) we will also make sure that all CentOS and BlueQuartz patches are installed and that the server is fully up to date in all regards.
If you have any questions regarding this service, then please don't hesitate to contact us by email or by phone. We will be happy to answer all your questions.

AV-SPAM v5 for BlueQuartz Server + free install

2008-10-12T09:02:00.000-07:00

AV-SPAM v5 for BlueQuartz Server + free install
AV-Suite and SPAM-Filter for CentOS+BlueQuartzCode: QBAVSUITESPAMWeight: 0.00Price: $199.00 Email gateway virus and SPAM filtering with GUI interface and web based statistics.
Not too many years ago SPAM and Email-Virii were a nuisance that one had to deal with off and on. But nowadays each mailserver usually gets hammered with a constant barrage of SPAM and Virii.
So every modern mailserver should have relieable means in place to protect its users from both Virii and SPAM. A few years ago we developed the first versions of our “AV-Suite” and “SPAM-Filter” - separate programs designed to deal with either Virii – or SPAM. For that purpose we used MailScanner, SpamAssassin and Clam AV. But as history has shown, MailScanner is not exactly the right choice for high traffic mailservers due to the ways it is normally implemented.
Therefore our new AV-SPAM v5 switches to an entirely different approach which solves a lot of inherent problems which the older AV-SPAM v4 had.
Clam AV Milter:
For one we do away with MailScanner and tie Clam AV directly into Sendmail through Clam AV Milter. Using the Clam AV daemon (which runs persistantly in the background for best performance) all emails are scanned for virii right as they are received. If an email contains an infected attachment, the email is rejected at the MTA level.
SpamAssassin and SpamAssassin Milter:
Where the old AV-SPAM v4 tied SpamAssassin into Procmail, the AV-SPAM v5 calls the SpamAssassin daemon through SpamAssassin Milter, which is also tied into Sendmail directly. This allows to check all emails that pass through your mail server for SPAM while the sending party is still delivering the mail. Emails with a very high SPAM score can be rejected at the MTA level during reception. Clean emails or emails with lower SPAM score are delivered to the intended recipients. At that point the individual AV-SPAM settings of the recipient kick in and SPAM emails can either be delivered marked as SPAM, or can be deleted on the server. Of course each email user on your server can use the AV-SPAM GUI on your BlueQuartz to configure the SPAM related settings valid for his own email account.
Another benefit of the Milter implementation is that all emails that pass through your server are scanned for virii and SPAM - regardless if they are for a local recipient on your server, or if the email is forwarded to another destination.
Greylist Milter:
Grey listing works by assuming that, unlike legitimate MTA, spam engines will not retry sending their junk mail on a temporary error. The filter will always reject mail temporarily on a first attempt, then accept it after some time has elapsed.
If spammers ever try to resend rejected messages, we can assume they will not stay idle between the two sends (if they do, the spam problem would just be solved). Odds are good that the spammer will send a mail to a honey pot address and get blacklisted in several real-time distributed black lists before the second attempt.
Automated updates:
The AV-SPAM ties into a special Solarspeed.net YUM repository to update both SpamAssassin and Clam AV whenever new versions are available. Additionally Clam AV uses "Freshclam" to continously update the virus definition files.
GUI integration:
Our AV-SPAM is tightly integrated into the BlueQuartz GUI interface. The GUI allows you to configure all relevant settings, allows to monitor the installed services and provides graphical statistics about the email traffic of your server.
So with our package you get a maintenance free anti-virus solution which protects all email traffic going through your server.

CMS Made Simple GUI Integration for Centos BlueQuartz

CMS Made Simple GUI Integration for Centos BlueQuartz
CMS Made Simple GUI Integration for Centos BlueQuartzCode: CMSPrice: $97.00
CMS Made Simple (or 'CMSMS') is a very lovely PHP and MySQL driven Content Management System. If you are an experienced web developer, and know how to do the things you need to do, to get a site up with CMS Made Simple is just that, simple. For those with more advanced ambitions there are plenty of addons to download. And there is an excellent community always at your service.
It's very easy to add content and addons wherever you want them to appear on the site. Design your website in whatever way or style you want and just load it into CMSMS to get it in the air. Easy as that!
Now this PKG allows to install and configure a CMSMS install for each virtual site. The PKG automatically sets up the required MySQL databases and users. Additionally it also pre-configures CMSMS's web based installer, so that you have your CMSMS enabled website up and running with just a few clicks of the mouse.
Once the PKG has been installed, you fist configure the general MySQL settings, so that new databases and users can be created automatically:

After that, any new site you create (or any existing site that you modify) can have it's own CMSMS install:

We also have a video tutorial that shows all features and the handling:

Software requirements for running CMSMS on BlueQuartz:
PHP: CMSMS requires a pretty modern PHP4 or PHP5. It will not run well with the PHP-4.3.9 that is installed on BlueQuartz by default.
So it is suggested that you either use a Solarspeed PHP4 or PHP5 alongside this install.
MySQL: CMSMS will run fine with either the stock MySQL-4 that's present on a BlueQuartz, or with MySQL5. To use the GUI based setup, the GUI interface of BlueQuartz must be able to communicate with MySQL. Some third party MySQL upgrades do not upgrade the php-mysql driver, which will break this connection.
Therefore we recommend to either run a "stock" MySQL4 install, or use the RAQport.com MySQL5. Because otherwise this PKG may not work for you.
We can install for you remotely free of charge.

MySQL install / upgrade MySQL-5.0.67 on Centos BlueQuartz ServerCode: MySQLupgradePrice: $65.00 Quantity in Basket: none

eyeOS is an Open Source Platform designed to hold a wide variety of Web Applications over it. eyeOS was thought as a new definition of Operating System, where everything inside can be accessed from everywhere in a Network. All you need to do is to login into your eyeOS install with a normal Internet Browser, and access your personal desktop, with your applications, documents, musics, movies... just like you left them last time.With our install of eyeOS you can find a full suite of applications bundled, some for private use, the file manager, a word processor, a music player, calendar, notepad or contacts manager. There are also some groupware applications, such as a groups manager, a file sharing application, a group board and many more.eyeOS is Open Source, licensed under the GNU Affero Public License version 3 (AGPL3), which means that you can have your own private eyeOS server for your Family and Friends, Company or Web Network. Creating your own eyeOS server is actually very easy with our PKG. Just install the PKG through the GUI or from the command line. Then go to a website where you want to have eyeOS available (or create a new one). Simply click on "Enable eyeOS" in the "web" settings of the BlueQuartz GUI and a few seconds later your website is eyeOS enabled.
You can see a video of eyeOS in action over here.
Our PKG for BlueQuartz installs eyeOS and allows you to install with a simple click on any website through the BlueQuartz GUI interface:
Click on this image for a larger version
Once installed on a virtual site, eyeOS is available through http://www.sitename.com/eyeos/
Below is a sample screenshot of an eyeOS session:
Click on this image for a larger version
Applications and Features:

Demo and further resources:
A demo of eyeOS is available on the project page of eyeOS. On the eyeOS page you can also find additional applications that can be installed into your eyeOS install.
Additionally there is a software called eyeSync available. With eyeSync you can easily synchronize your local files with any eyeOS server.
Hard- and software requirements for running eyeOS on BlueQuartz:
eyeOS is surprisingly light on the resources. A basic install of it into a webspace uses less than 15MB of disk space. If you install more eyeOS applications and store data inside the eyeOS desktop, then it of course requires more space. But the initial footprint is indeed light.
However: The server must have PHP5 installed, or eyeOS won't run.
It runs fine with our PHP5. So if you don't have it, you might want to order it as well. A database connection like to MySQL is not required, as eyeOS brings its own filesystem with it, where it stores all the data.

Mod MySQL: This software extends the BlueQuartz GUI interface to easily create and remove MySQL userCode: ModMySQLPrice: $45.00
Mod MySQL: This software extends the BlueQuartz GUI interface to easily create and remove MySQL users and databases for each virtual site.
How it works:

When you create or modify a virtual site through the GUI, then you can choose to also create a MySQL database and a MySQL user for the site in question. Upon modifying a site a MySQL database name, username and password will be suggested to you. But you can of course also set them according to your specific needs.

The chosen MySQL username and database name cannot be modified by the site administrator, but he can see his MySQL database details read only in the BlueQuartz GUI.

When you disable the MySQL feature for a site, or when you delete the virtual site, then the MySQL database and user will be deleted automatically.

Mod MySQL requirements:

This module requires that the PHP used by AdmServ can communicate directly with MySQL through "php-mysql". It usually can do that - unless you upgraded your PHP or your MySQL with one from a third party vendor. This module will work with the following PHP and MySQL versions:

- Stock BlueQuartz PHP and MySQL.
- Solarspeed PHP4 or PHP5 and stock MySQL4.
- Solarspeed PHP4 or PHP5 and Solarspeed MySQL5.

PKG installation:

To provide you with the most straightforward way on installing and using our MySQL5, the software is available as self installable PKG file, which you can install yourself. Either through the GUI interface, or from the command line.

Features:
Self installable PKG for BlueQuartz
Mod MySQL GUI Integration to automatically create or remove MySQL users and databases
GUI Editor for modifying /etc/my.cnf directly.

Or we can remotely install for you Free of Charge।

The serial ATA hardisks have a throughput of approximately 50 MBit/seconds and even the basic model with a 2.4GHz CPU outperforms a RaQ550 by several magnitudes.

CentOS is an Enterprise-class Linux Distribution derived from sources freely provided to the public by a prominent North American Enterprise Linux vendor (read that as Red Hat). CentOS conforms fully with the upstream vendors redistribution policy and aims to be 100% binary compatible. CentOS mainly changes packages to remove upstream vendor branding and artwork. CentOS is free.
BlueQuartz project which is based on the Sun Cobalt Sausalito architecture of the Cobalt RaQ550. BlueQuartz provides the same GUI functionality which a RaQ550 provides - minus the Chilisoft ASP and FrontPage support. Sites, users, mailing lists and settings can easily be imported from an existing Sun Cobalt RaQ to a server running BlueQuartz - through the built in CMU utility.

Yeah, the error "ERROR: Cannot adjust to this platform" is because that version of CMU is way too old. The one you need is this:

http://bluequartz.org/pub/BlueQuartz/5100R/CentOS4/bluequartz/i386/RPMS/5100R-cmu-2.63-0BQ15.centos4.noarch.rpm

I also attach a copy of that RPM to this email.

YUM needs port 80 and port 21 outgoing to be open and also needs a working DNS to be able to resolve hosts. If that's the case, then you could also fetch it with "yum install 5100R-cmu-2.63-0BQ15".

Small tips for using CMU in a VPS:
===================================

Sites MUST not be imported onto IPs which the VPS is not allowed to use.
Otherwise the import fails.

So either import to an "allowed" IP, or assign the IP of the site to be imported to the VPS beforehand.

This is what I do when I want to import all sites from the CMU dump in /home/import/ onto the IP 10.0.0.1 for example:

/usr/sbin/cmuImport -a -i 10.0.0.1 -d /home/import/

Another small tip regarding CMU:

Before importing with CMU, open up
/usr/sausalito/handlers/base/user/updateCapabilities.pl in an editor and find this block of code:

# check that this user has the privilege to do this..
# get info to see if i'm god.
if (!$Capability->allowedCaps(\%caps_being_added)) {
$cce->warn("[[sauce-basic.permsNotAvailable]]");
$cce->bye("FAIL");
exit(0);
}

Comment it out by changing it to this:

# check that this user has the privilege to do this..
# get info to see if i'm god.
#if (!$Capability->allowedCaps(\%caps_being_added)) { # $cce->warn("[[sauce-basic.permsNotAvailable]]");
# $cce->bye("FAIL");
# exit(0);
#}

This is a small work around that helps to avoid problems with importing site administrators।
Aventurine Cluster Software Server Linux with Virtualization with GUI will cluster 2 Servers ( your hardware or our RAQport.com latest hardware ) We offer latest Super Server from SuperMicro w/hot swap-dual core-xeon CPU. Software ONLy for pair of 2 servers - no hardware. Software on CD or for download. can be used only for pair of 2 servers. Comes with Free updates via YUM - part og the GUI Questions: RAQport.com 1800-695-6200 or 703-528-0114

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.
Cluster installation
This gallery of screenshots shows how a typical installation of Aventurin{e} (Clustering) by CD-ROM looks. Just click on any image to see a larger version and the corresponding explanation of what it shows.

Clustering: GUI Interface
This gallery of screenshots gives you a full impression about the look and feel of the Aventurin{e} GUI interface. Just click on any image to see a larger version and the corresponding explanation of what it shows.

Aventurin{e} downloadable ISO image - details:
Aventurin{e} is available in two different 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.
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.
Included OS templates:
The ISO images of Aventurin{e} comes with the following OS templates included:
CentOS + BlueQuartz v4.8
CentOS v4/Final (minimal install)
Debian v3.1 (minimal install)
Fedora Core v5 (minimal install)

Dell looks to Poland for expansion

Dell looks to Poland for expansion

04 May 2008

An assurance by Dell that the Polish operation will not affect jobs in its Limerick plant will be cold comfort for the 250 Irish staff being made redundant, writes Gavin Daly.

Computer maker Dell, which last week announced 250 compulsory redundancies among its Irish staff, is doubling employment and output at its new plant in Poland.

The company expects to have 2,500 workers in Lodz by the end of the year, according to Polish reports quoting Dell executives, and Invest in Poland, the state investment agency. Dell opened the plant in Lodz in January, and is now advertising dozens of jobs, from graduate positions to manufacturing engineers, production managers and supervisors.

The firm is manufacturing laptop computers in Lodz at the moment, but is adding new production lines. It is expected to start manufacturing computer servers in the future, according to the reports. An Irish-based spokeswoman for Dell said that the Lodz plant already employed about 1,500 people, and was operating ‘‘according to plan’’.

The workers in Lodz include ‘‘a number of managers from Limerick’’, where Dell employs about 3,000 people at a manufacturing plant. The Dell spokeswoman said that some support functions for the Polish operations were also being carried out in Limerick.

Dell last week announced 250 layoffs in Ireland, although the majority of the cuts will come from its sales and support centre at Cherrywood in Dublin - which employs 1,500 staff - rather than from Limerick. The Irish employees were informed of the cuts last Tuesday, with jobs in technology support, marketing, sales and administration among those affected.

The spokeswoman said that the cuts were compulsory, rather than voluntary, because they were ‘‘role-specific’’, affecting particular groups of workers. There will be a 30day consulting period, and the first workers will leave the company around July. The full process will be completed by the end of January 2009.

It is understood that the departing workers will be paid six weeks’ salary, including the statutory redundancy requirement. Several industry observers expressed surprise that the Limerick plant would be relatively unaffected by the cuts, particularly given the rising cost of manufacturing in Ireland and the recent opening of the Lodz factory.

Sources close to Dell said that the Limerick operation - which is run by Dell vice-president Nicky Hartery - had escaped large-scale cuts because of its continued efficiency. However, other sources speculated that the Lodz plant was still in its early stages, and the Limerick operation could yet be affected as it comes fully on stream.

Dell has consistently said that the Polish plant does not pose a threat to the Limerick operation, which continues to operate at full capacity. ‘‘The second manufacturing site complements Limerick, and services different geographic markets to Limerick,” the Dell spokeswoman told The Sunday Business Post last week.

‘‘The development of the second manufacturing facility in EMEA [Europe, the Middle East and Africa] is all part of the company’s strategy globally, to reduce delivery time to customers of Dell systems - specifically for customers in central and eastern Europe.”

Lodz is already seeing the wider benefit of having a Dell factory, with sub-contractors and suppliers such as Flextronics and RR Donnelley setting up in the area, bringing additional jobs and investment. A similar phenomenon occurred in Limerick, where thousands of jobs are linked to Dell through suppliers and contractors.

While speculation about large-scale layoffs in Limerick has circulated for some time, this newspaper reported in December that the government had approved new grant aid for the Limerick operation. It is understood the grant aid would support a transition from manufacturing to ‘higher-end’ research jobs.

It is not clear what affect the layoffs announced by Dell last week could have on that plan, and the company spokeswoman refused to comment.

However, one source said that Dell’s two Irish operations were ‘‘distinct operations’’, so grant aid could still be granted for Limerick, even if Cherrywood was contracting.

In its statement last week, Dell said it was proud of its growth in Ireland, but had to ‘‘look critically’’ at its operation.

‘‘Dell Ireland regrets the impact that this will have on its employees, but is confident that the changes will position Dell strongly for continued future growth,” the company said.

The Irish cuts are part of a wider plan by the company to cut its 17,500 staff in EMEA by between 4 per cent and 5 per cent - or up to 875 people in total. Dell has already announced layoffs in the US, with the closure of four call centres and a manufacturing plant in its home state of Texas.

Those closures will result in more than 4,100 layoffs, but the company has a target of laying off more than 8,800 people in total, in a bid to cut costs by $3 billion. The firm last week pointed to recent comments by chief executive Michael Dell and chief financial officer Don Carty, who said the company needed to work harder to become more competitive.

‘‘We will go past the 8,800 target [for layoffs] previously discussed,” Dell told investors last month. ‘‘We were not participating in some of the fastest growing parts of the industry. We are not satisfied with the current state of affairs and are on a mission to fix it.”

Whatever form that mission takes could have a major impact on Ireland, as Dell is one of the biggest employers in the country and is the country’s largest exporter.

Dell Products, an Irish-incorporated company that covers its Limerick operation, had turnover of $11.3 billion in the 53 weeks to February 3, 2006, according to its most recent accounts.

The firm - which sells computer products to customers in Europe - made a pre-tax profit of $48.8 million for the year. In the previous financial year, the company paid a dividend of almost $5.6 billion back to its US parent company.

Dell Direct, the Irish firm behind the Cherrywood operation, had turnover of €150.2 million in the financial year to February 2, 2007. It made a pre-tax profit of €42.9 million for the year, including a €27.1 million gain from the sale of its former base in Bray, Co Wicklow. Costs at Dell Direct decreased by almost 5 per cent during the year, according to its accounts.

The firm had received almost €14million in grants from IDA Ireland, which ‘‘may be revoked, cancelled or abated in certain circumstances, the most significant of which is the cessation of operations’’.

Pfizer’s expansion not jobs-intensive
There was some positive news on the jobs front late last week, with the announcement of a significant Irish expansion by Pfizer, the biggest pharmaceutical firm in the world.

The company is investing €190 million in a ‘‘biologics’’ plant at Shanbally in Cork. Despite the size of the investment, it will create a relatively small number of jobs – about 100 jobs over three years – reflecting a shift towards high-value, low job creation projects.

However, it is the first time that Pfizer has located such a plant outside the US, a move that was described as ‘‘strategically important’’ by enterprise minister Micheál Martin.

‘‘The decision to place such a sophisticated and technologically-advanced operation here is a significant endorsement of Ireland’s wealth of talent and expertise,” he said.

Nat Ricciardi of Pfizer Global Manufacturing said the firm had chosen to locate the new ‘‘centre of excellence’’ in Cork, because of its ‘‘very positive experiences in the region over many years’’. Pfizer already employs about 2,300 people in Ireland. The new plant will be built on a 30-acre site beside the existing Pfizer facility at Ringaskiddy.

Up to 500 people will be employed at the peak of building work, and the plant should be up-and-running by the end of next year. The new plant is being supported by IDA Ireland, although the level of grant aid or other support has not been disclosed

A CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance can do everything a RaQ550 can do as well (including FrontPage but no Chilisoft ASP) - and it does it much faster. The serial ATA hardisks have a throughput of approximately 50 MBit/seconds and even the basic model with a 2.4GHz CPU outperforms a RaQ550 by several magnitudes.

CentOS is an Enterprise-class Linux Distribution derived from sources freely provided to the public by a prominent North American Enterprise Linux vendor (read that as Red Hat). CentOS conforms fully with the upstream vendors redistribution policy and aims to be 100% binary compatible. CentOS mainly changes packages to remove upstream vendor branding and artwork. CentOS is free.
BlueQuartz project which is based on the Sun Cobalt Sausalito architecture of the Cobalt RaQ550. BlueQuartz provides the same GUI functionality which a RaQ550 provides - minus the Chilisoft ASP and FrontPage support. Sites, users, mailing lists and settings can easily be imported from an existing Sun Cobalt RaQ to a server running BlueQuartz - through the built in CMU utility.
The TyanGS14 server chassis is a very reliable and solidly manufactured barebones system with LCD front panel. It comes complete with rack mount slides, ample cooling and supports SATA, up to 4 GB of memory and Pentium 4 processors. Its performance and inexpensiveness makes it the ideal choice for an affordably priced server appliance.
We can highly recommend the CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance as worthy successor of the RaQ550. 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.
We have ported our RaQ550 software to the CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance and extras like the SPAM-Filter, AV-Suite, Security Package, php, MySQL,phpMyAdmin.

Server Migrations. Which means that we will assist you in moving all sites and WebPages, users, email accounts, mailing lists, MySQL databases and DNS information from one server to another.A typical migration takes between 2-3 hours of time and we can perform IP address renumbering during the migration. Or we can keep the IP addresses of all sites as they were on the source server. However, if the IP addresses are supposed to remain the same, then the source server needs to be powered down as soon as the import of the websites on the target server starts
Sites, users, mailing lists and settings can directly be imported with the built in CMU from any Cobalt RaQ. So this is an inexpensive way to trade the aging Cobalt RaQs against much more modern hard- and software, while retaining the well known functionality and GUI interface.

A CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance can do everything a RaQ550 can do as well (including FrontPage but no Chilisoft ASP) - and it does it much faster. The serial ATA hardisks have a throughput of approximately 50 MBit/seconds and even the basic model with a 2.4GHz CPU outperforms a RaQ550 by several magnitudes.
CentOS + BlueQuartz OS restore instructions
Prerequisites:
• 1 USB CD-ROM drive• 1 USB Keyboard• 1 VGA Monitor
Connect the CD-ROM and Keyboard to the USB ports on the front or back of the unit. Plug the monitor in. Put the (included) CentOS + BlueQuartz OS Restore CD into the CD-ROM and power on the server.
Press F2 during power up to access the BIOS.
Bios settings:
1.) Make sure that the boot device (see menu entry "BOOT") lists CD-ROM as first device. If the CD-ROM is not listed as first device, then you can move it upwards in the list with the +/- keys on the numerical keypad.
2.) RAID: Make sure that RAID is [DISABLED]. Please note that onboard raid controllers are not efficient. We use software RAID.Set BIOS "Advanced" to the following settings:
Installed O/S:
[Other]
Reset Configuratiion Data:
[NO]
Large Disk Access Mode:
[Other]
Parallel ATA:
[Disabled]
Serial ATA:
[Enabled]
Native Mode Operation:
[Serial ATA]
Legacy USB Support:
[Enabled]
In BIOS menu "MAIN" confirm that IDE Channel 2 and 3 Master are set to the following settings: Auto 32 Bit I/O [Enabled]
Save the changes and let the unit boot off the CD-ROM.
Actual OS install:
Read known issues in regards to USB CD-ROM
Sit back and watch it fly through setting up. It does NOT require any key board intervention!
When it is finished, it will be at a login prompt. Type “root” and hit enter.
It will ask you for the IP address, Netmask and Default Gateway. Please have them handy!IP Address: __________________________Netmask: ____________________________Gateway: ____________________________
The setup script will continue adding and removing packages needed to run your new box.
After the install is finish, you will need to connect to the web address using a web browser
Follow on screen setup! And your done!
Before Actually Installing, please read the known issues to avoid any problems!
Known Issues: This is only if you have another system with no internal CD ROM
USB CD ROM issue. The install may drop into text mode, “ask for language”. If this is the case, reboot the server and watch the monitor, when there is a pause and the display reads “loading /sbin/loader” remove and reinsert the CD ROM USB cord. You should see info box “loading USB storage driver and the install should continue without intervention.
Unless you remove the CD when ejected, the server may reboot and load off the CD when the install is finished. If this is the case, power down the server, power up the server and immediately remove the CD, so the server will boot from the hard drive.
During initial Blue Quartz Setup Wizard, the wizard may crash if you change the IP of the DNS server from 127.0.0.1. Please change it after installation is complete. This in no way will limit the functionality of server, nor will it degrade performance.
If you click on “System Settings” and then “TCP/IP”, you get a java script runtime error. This only appears to happen in Internet Explorer early version of 6. In Firefox, you do not have this issue!
The LCD may stop working after a “yum update”. If it does, simply re-install the LCD RPM located in /root using;rpm --Uvh --force --nodeps /root/NuOnce-TyanGS12-LCD-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
Aside from the speed there are other compelling reasons to consider replacing existing RaQ3, RaQ4, XTR and RaQ550 with a CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance:
Security: The much more modern operating system uses an up to date 2.6-kernel. All system libraries and daemons are as modern as one would expect from a good operating system. Additionally CentOS provides updates on a regular basis which can easily be installed to keep the system current and to make sure that it doesn't get exploited through vulnerabilities. In that regards a "real" RaQ550 is pure hacker bait, even if you install all patches and extra security measures.
Stability: A "real" RaQ550 suffers from too many proprietary modifications. Especially in regards to the kernel's memory management, which make a RaQ550 inherently unstable - especially under moderate or high load. Dirty hacks in Apache to implement FrontPage and ASP support, as well as the Sausalito-enabled PHP-4.0.6 library lead to instabilities of Apache, as well as to memory leaks. Also, on a RaQ550 Procmail (used for local email delivery to mailboxes) has been modified in a fashion that it no longer can report certain signal exceptions back to Sendmail in case the email delivery to the mailbox fails. A CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance doesn't have these problems, as the base OS is for the most part (aside from modifying some config files) left unmolested.
Spare parts and replacements: Ever paid an unreasonable sum for spare parts like fans, rack mounting brackets, replacement hardisks or extra memory? All parts used in a CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance are readily available from any well sorted computer hardware store (as well as from RAQport). This also includes motherboard and case. Aside from that the operating system is not tied to the hardware, so you could basically run the same operating system on any hardware.
Flat learning curve: If you are already familiar with running a Sun Cobalt server appliance (especially an XTR or RaQ550), then you have very few new tricks to learn. The CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance's GUI is almost identical to that of a RaQ550 and neither neither your webhosting customers, nor you yourself have to adapt much.

What is your Return Policy?
Customer must inspect all goods upon receipt and notify RAQport within 7 business days if any products are missing or damaged.
All sales are final. Return of non-defective product within the first 30 days from date of purchase will be subjected to a 15% Return Fee.
Shipping fees and/or Return shipping costs are not refundable and are the sole responsibility of the customer.
Only defective product returns will be accepted after 30 days for repair or replacement only.
Products sold with a Manufacturer or Direct Warranty must be returned directly to the product manufacturer for repair or replacement. For these items, the warranty policy from the product manufacturer explicitly requires that any returns, repairs etc. be requested and processed directly by the consumer (or "end-user") of the item.
Due to licensing and copyright laws, we do not accept returns on software once a package has been opened. Defective software will be exchanged for the same title only.
To return a product you must obtain a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. RAQport will not accept returns without prior authorization.
RMA numbers are valid for 30 days. RMA numbers will not be extended and will be closed upon expiration. You must contact RAQport to obtain another RMA number.
Once the RMA has been issued you will receive an email explaining what to expect during the return process. If the return is a multiple box shipment the RMA number must be marked on all packages returned. All packages returned must have the RMA number displayed in large bold letters on the outside of the box.
Unauthorized or Unmarked returns will not be honored and may be refused upon receipt and/or shipped back at the customer’s expense.
Shipments that are refused without authorization, or that are returned due to an invalid address, are subject to a 15% Return Fee plus applicable handling fees.
All product(s) must be return as originally received to include original packaging, manuals, documentation, and all bundled accessories. Returns must be packaged appropriately as to minimize any unnecessary damage during transit. Product(s) damaged during shipment will invalidate both the warranty and RMA and will be returned to the customer at the customer’s expense.
All Warranty Exchange replacements are subject to product availability. If an exact replacement is not available upon testing RAQport will substitute the product(s) with a similar, suitable, or upgraded product(s) of equal or greater value within 7 to 10 business days. If none of these options are available RAQport will credit the customer’s account based upon current market value of the received product(s).
Per product descriptions, compatibility can be reasonably assured in most cases but can never be guaranteed; a product that is incompatible in a specific hardware/software environment is not therefore automatically "defective".
Return Policies subject to change without prior notice. Customer should review these return policies prior to making purchase.The sudden demise of the Sun Cobalt RaQ has left ISPs and hosting companies with a time bomb: hundreds of thousands of RaQ servers worldwide starting to wear out with no viable replacement. Fortunately, Centos Blue Quartz is the answer.Since 1998 Cobalt RaQs have dominated the hosting market. Hundreds of thousands of these massively popular servers are still in service today hosting millions of web sites worldwide. The reason for the popularity of the product was quite simple; it was easy to deploy and easy to manage. This allowed ISPs and hosting companies to provide a high level service to their customers without the high costs associated with managing their web sites for them. The RaQ s software gave the customer control of the website whilst the ISP looked after the hardware.In late 2000, Sun purchased Cobalt Networks Inc., scooping up both the company's server line and Cobalt's sales force in a stock-for-stock deal worth about $2.1 billion.In an orientation training directly after the "merger" (as they called it at the time, partially to keep Cobalt folks happy and partially to justify the $2bn cost), Sun's HR folks swore that one of the reasons that Sun bought Cobalt was to teach Sun how to move like a small company again. Trying to get 250 so people to infect a culture of nearly 40,000 (at the time) was ridiculous. It has taken -years- for Sun to see the big picture on Linux and it still don't seem to get the real picture.Statement from the former Cobalt Sun employee"Being an ex-Cobalt and Sun employee, I would love to tell you a little more. First off, even though I was fairly early into Cobalt, not all of us made lots of money; in fact I made what I can only say was peanuts. It is fair to say the only Porsche I could have afforded would have been a dinky toy. Sun treated us like second class citizens, and the Sun reps were negative about Linux, and did not want to sell the products.Cobalt was the best product on the market, there is still really nothing like it out there. Interesting point to make is that have a look at the latest IDC figures, appliance servers are well up in figures, well above the estimates, with none of the bigboys their, oh and Sun, oh that's right, they have killed their only appliance off"In late 2000, Ed Zander (then president and chief operating officer of Sun Microsystems Inc. and now recently tapped as CEO and president of Motorola) said of Sun's Cobalt server line: "We think the demand for these high-volume, turnkey devices will explode in the next couple of years. Cobalt is our bet for the future." That future lasted only three years. On February 2004 the company announced that it will discontinue the last model in its Cobalt product line, the RaQ 550 server, following September end-of-life notices for the rest of the Cobalt line.Although the Cobalt line of 1U servers proved popular. According to Netcraft statistics, the number of sites hosted on Cobalt's has declined from a peak of 3.1 million hostnames and 942,000 active sites in August 2002 to 871,000 hostnames and 511,000 active sites in November 2004. Today s challenge for ISPs is how to move customers websites from an ageing RaQ to a new server without having to migrate each one by hand, whilst preserving the familiar interface that loyal customers have grown to love. With most ISPs having exhausted their supply of RaQ spare parts, they can no longer afford to wait before finding an alternative platform. However, the task of porting customers websites is expensive, time-consuming and problematic.What ISPs are desperate for is a fast, affordable and easy-to-use solution which allows them to migrate customer web sites whilst retaining the same user interface. This was the task that Centos Blue Quartz set themselves: to design a replacement product and a migration tool that would meet this need. The result is the Centos Blue Quartz server sold by RAQport.com Arlington Virginia Company and Solarspeed.net in GermanyCentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance as worthy successor of the RaQ550. It is much faster than a RaQ550. The software (OS and GUI) are open source projects with a pretty active developer- and user-base.We have ported our RaQ550, RAQXTR and RAQ4 software to the CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance and extras like the SPAM-Filter, AV-Suite, Security Package, php, MySQL, Aw-stats, MRTG and latest PHP/MYSQL ( subject of additional cost see more RAQport.com Ebay Auctions )Aside from offering professional installation services we also plan on releasing certain pre-packaged software for free for this new and exciting platform.Centos Blue Quartz have taken the strategic decision to retain the RaQ's innovative and popular user interface. This means that customers migrating to the Centos Blue Quartz Servers will not have to worry about a steep learning curve. All of the tools for creating and maintaining their websites and e-mail accounts will look and operate in exactly the same way as they did before. As Alex Bajan RAQport CEO explains, There is a huge loyal customer base that has kept faith with the product because of its simplicity and ease of use. Our aim was to retain all of the things that made the original RaQ a success whilst solving the immediate challenge of sustainability. Centos Blue Quartz Server takes advantage of the latest developments in hardware technology offering significantly more performance and capacity than the original RaQ product. This means that ISPs will be able to host more domains on each server meaning more revenue per square meter of rack space they key to profitability in this competitive industry.Another concern that Centos Blue Quartz have addressed is the issue of ongoing product development. A team based in the US, Germany and Australia is responsible for maintaining the product and ensuring that it continues to meet the requirements of the web hosting industry. Centos Blue Quartz ensure that the Server OS is kept up-to-date with the latest security releases. One of the advantages of the Centos Blue Quartz over the original RaQ is that critical updates and security patches are downloaded and installed automatically every night without requiring any user intervention. This is of real benefit to ISPs who have many servers to maintain as they can virtually leave them to manage themselves.Centos Blue Quartz and RAQport.com development team also tackled a number of the RaQ s other shortcomings prior to launching the Server. The old e-mail server software Sendmail with Qpopper was replaced with the more feature-rich and secure applications. The Apache web server and associated development tools such as PHP and Perl were also updated to the latest stable versions. Alex Bajan of RaQport.com explained the reasons for adopting this approach, We wanted to maintain as stable a product as we could and this meant selecting the latest software components and a market-leading version of the Linux operating system Centos Blue Quartz rather than developing our own as other vendors have done. The customer benefits because security patches are released faster, the product is more reliable and their investment future-proofed.Perhaps the most attractive feature of Centos Blue Quartz for existing users of the RaQ is the in-built migration tool CMU. Michael Stauber explains the advantages of this software utility, CMU and enables ISPs to rapidly migrate any number of domains, websites and e-mail accounts from a RaQ server to an BlueQuartz Server Appliance in a matter of minutes. The process is simple and secure and requires no specialist training. As a result downtime is minimized and customer satisfaction maintained.Let's say you own a Cobalt RaQ and have plenty of software from us installed. Like the AV-Suite, SPAM-Filter, PHP, MySQL, phpMyAdmin and the Security Package. Or any other paid software install that we offer. Do you need to buy the software again if you decide to move on to a CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance? No. We offer to migrate the software for you based on our upgrade pricing list $75.00 for application.Sites, users, mailing lists and settings can directly be imported with the built in CMU from any Cobalt RaQ. So this is an inexpensive way to trade the aging Cobalt RaQ's against much more modern hard- and software, while retaining the well known functionality and GUI interface. A CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance can do everything a RaQ550 can do as well (including Frontpage and but not Chilisoft ASP You can buy from Sun) - and it does it much faster. The serial ATA hardisks have a throughput of approximately 50 MBit/seconds and even the basic model with a 2.4GHz CPU outperforms a RaQ550 by several magnitudes.

The CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance's GUI is almost identical to that of a RaQ550 and neither neither your web hosting customers, nor you yourself have to adapt much. Cobalt's range of servers became dominant in the marketplace because they satisfied the ISP communities need for an affordable yet powerful solution that allowed ordinary non-technical users to maintain their own websites and e-mail. This combination of functionality and low-cost was one of the factors that contributed to the dot com boom of the late 90s. Although the boom has subsided, all of those RaQ servers are still there albeit starting to creak somewhat as their workload increases. With CentOS + BlueQuartz Server's, ISPs and hosting companies can build on customer loyalty by providing improved performance, security and reliability. The CentOS + BlueQuartz Server retain what was best about the RaQ and builds on it, producing a state-of-the-art solution that will appeal to new users and loyal customers alike.

Software:• CentOS Enterprise-class Linux Distribution (open source)• BlueQuartz User interface based on RaQ550 Sausalito• OS Restore CD included for easy OS reinstallsHardware: • High-quality parts: genuine Intel processor and chipset• SATA drives - available in RAID or single drive configuration• ECC RAM (DDR/DDR2) up to 8GB (depending on chassis model!) • Front-panel control for IP address, hardware monitor, password reset, etc. Service:• Limited OS support available through RAQport• Obtain Support through the CentOS forum • Obtain Support through the CentOS mailling list• BlueQuartz Forum / Mailing List Archive
A CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance can do everything a RaQ550 can do as well (including FrontPage but no Chilisoft ASP) - and it does it much faster. The serial ATA hardisks have a throughput of approximately 50 MBit/seconds and even the basic model with a 2.4GHz CPU outperforms a RaQ550 by several magnitudes.

CentOS is an Enterprise-class Linux Distribution derived from sources freely provided to the public by a prominent North American Enterprise Linux vendor (read that as Red Hat). CentOS conforms fully with the upstream vendors redistribution policy and aims to be 100% binary compatible. CentOS mainly changes packages to remove upstream vendor branding and artwork. CentOS is free.
BlueQuartz project which is based on the Sun Cobalt Sausalito architecture of the Cobalt RaQ550. BlueQuartz provides the same GUI functionality which a RaQ550 provides - minus the Chilisoft ASP and FrontPage support. Sites, users, mailing lists and settings can easily be imported from an existing Sun Cobalt RaQ to a server running BlueQuartz - through the built in CMU utility.
The TyanGS14 server chassis is a very reliable and solidly manufactured barebones system with LCD front panel. It comes complete with rack mount slides, ample cooling and supports SATA, up to 4 GB of memory and Pentium 4 processors. Its performance and inexpensiveness makes it the ideal choice for an affordably priced server appliance.
We can highly recommend the CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance as worthy successor of the RaQ550. 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.
We have ported our RaQ550 software to the CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance and extras like the SPAM-Filter, AV-Suite, Security Package, php, MySQL,phpMyAdmin.

Server Migrations. Which means that we will assist you in moving all sites and WebPages, users, email accounts, mailing lists, MySQL databases and DNS information from one server to another.A typical migration takes between 2-3 hours of time and we can perform IP address renumbering during the migration. Or we can keep the IP addresses of all sites as they were on the source server. However, if the IP addresses are supposed to remain the same, then the source server needs to be powered down as soon as the import of the websites on the target server starts
Sites, users, mailing lists and settings can directly be imported with the built in CMU from any Cobalt RaQ. So this is an inexpensive way to trade the aging Cobalt RaQs against much more modern hard- and software, while retaining the well known functionality and GUI interface.

A CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance can do everything a RaQ550 can do as well (including FrontPage but no Chilisoft ASP) - and it does it much faster. The serial ATA hardisks have a throughput of approximately 50 MBit/seconds and even the basic model with a 2.4GHz CPU outperforms a RaQ550 by several magnitudes.
CentOS + BlueQuartz OS restore instructions
Prerequisites:
• 1 USB CD-ROM drive• 1 USB Keyboard• 1 VGA Monitor
Connect the CD-ROM and Keyboard to the USB ports on the front or back of the unit. Plug the monitor in. Put the (included) CentOS + BlueQuartz OS Restore CD into the CD-ROM and power on the server.
Press F2 during power up to access the BIOS.
Bios settings:
1.) Make sure that the boot device (see menu entry "BOOT") lists CD-ROM as first device. If the CD-ROM is not listed as first device, then you can move it upwards in the list with the +/- keys on the numerical keypad.
2.) RAID: Make sure that RAID is [DISABLED]. Please note that onboard raid controllers are not efficient. We use software RAID.Set BIOS "Advanced" to the following settings:
Installed O/S:
[Other]
Reset Configuratiion Data:
[NO]
Large Disk Access Mode:
[Other]
Parallel ATA:
[Disabled]
Serial ATA:
[Enabled]
Native Mode Operation:
[Serial ATA]
Legacy USB Support:
[Enabled]
In BIOS menu "MAIN" confirm that IDE Channel 2 and 3 Master are set to the following settings: Auto 32 Bit I/O [Enabled]
Save the changes and let the unit boot off the CD-ROM.
Actual OS install:
Read known issues in regards to USB CD-ROM
Sit back and watch it fly through setting up. It does NOT require any key board intervention!
When it is finished, it will be at a login prompt. Type “root” and hit enter.
It will ask you for the IP address, Netmask and Default Gateway. Please have them handy!IP Address: __________________________Netmask: ____________________________Gateway: ____________________________
The setup script will continue adding and removing packages needed to run your new box.
After the install is finish, you will need to connect to the web address using a web browser
Follow on screen setup! And your done!
Before Actually Installing, please read the known issues to avoid any problems!
Known Issues: This is only if you have another system with no internal CD ROM
USB CD ROM issue. The install may drop into text mode, “ask for language”. If this is the case, reboot the server and watch the monitor, when there is a pause and the display reads “loading /sbin/loader” remove and reinsert the CD ROM USB cord. You should see info box “loading USB storage driver and the install should continue without intervention.
Unless you remove the CD when ejected, the server may reboot and load off the CD when the install is finished. If this is the case, power down the server, power up the server and immediately remove the CD, so the server will boot from the hard drive.
During initial Blue Quartz Setup Wizard, the wizard may crash if you change the IP of the DNS server from 127.0.0.1. Please change it after installation is complete. This in no way will limit the functionality of server, nor will it degrade performance.
If you click on “System Settings” and then “TCP/IP”, you get a java script runtime error. This only appears to happen in Internet Explorer early version of 6. In Firefox, you do not have this issue!
The LCD may stop working after a “yum update”. If it does, simply re-install the LCD RPM located in /root using;rpm --Uvh --force --nodeps /root/NuOnce-TyanGS12-LCD-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
Aside from the speed there are other compelling reasons to consider replacing existing RaQ3, RaQ4, XTR and RaQ550 with a CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance:
Security: The much more modern operating system uses an up to date 2.6-kernel. All system libraries and daemons are as modern as one would expect from a good operating system. Additionally CentOS provides updates on a regular basis which can easily be installed to keep the system current and to make sure that it doesn't get exploited through vulnerabilities. In that regards a "real" RaQ550 is pure hacker bait, even if you install all patches and extra security measures.
Stability: A "real" RaQ550 suffers from too many proprietary modifications. Especially in regards to the kernel's memory management, which make a RaQ550 inherently unstable - especially under moderate or high load. Dirty hacks in Apache to implement FrontPage and ASP support, as well as the Sausalito-enabled PHP-4.0.6 library lead to instabilities of Apache, as well as to memory leaks. Also, on a RaQ550 Procmail (used for local email delivery to mailboxes) has been modified in a fashion that it no longer can report certain signal exceptions back to Sendmail in case the email delivery to the mailbox fails. A CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance doesn't have these problems, as the base OS is for the most part (aside from modifying some config files) left unmolested.
Spare parts and replacements: Ever paid an unreasonable sum for spare parts like fans, rack mounting brackets, replacement hardisks or extra memory? All parts used in a CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance are readily available from any well sorted computer hardware store (as well as from RAQport). This also includes motherboard and case. Aside from that the operating system is not tied to the hardware, so you could basically run the same operating system on any hardware.
Flat learning curve: If you are already familiar with running a Sun Cobalt server appliance (especially an XTR or RaQ550), then you have very few new tricks to learn. The CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance's GUI is almost identical to that of a RaQ550 and neither neither your webhosting customers, nor you yourself have to adapt much.

RAQport reserves the right to use compatible models of the Hard Drives and CPU with similar specification.
What is your Return Policy?
Customer must inspect all goods upon receipt and notify RAQport within 7 business days if any products are missing or damaged.
All sales are final. Return of non-defective product within the first 30 days from date of purchase will be subjected to a 15% Return Fee.
Shipping fees and/or Return shipping costs are not refundable and are the sole responsibility of the customer.
Only defective product returns will be accepted after 30 days for repair or replacement only.
Products sold with a Manufacturer or Direct Warranty must be returned directly to the product manufacturer for repair or replacement. For these items, the warranty policy from the product manufacturer explicitly requires that any returns, repairs etc. be requested and processed directly by the consumer (or "end-user") of the item.
Due to licensing and copyright laws, we do not accept returns on software once a package has been opened. Defective software will be exchanged for the same title only.
To return a product you must obtain a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. RAQport will not accept returns without prior authorization.
RMA numbers are valid for 30 days. RMA numbers will not be extended and will be closed upon expiration. You must contact RAQport to obtain another RMA number.
Once the RMA has been issued you will receive an email explaining what to expect during the return process. If the return is a multiple box shipment the RMA number must be marked on all packages returned. All packages returned must have the RMA number displayed in large bold letters on the outside of the box.
Unauthorized or Unmarked returns will not be honored and may be refused upon receipt and/or shipped back at the customer’s expense.
Shipments that are refused without authorization, or that are returned due to an invalid address, are subject to a 15% Return Fee plus applicable handling fees.
All product(s) must be return as originally received to include original packaging, manuals, documentation, and all bundled accessories. Returns must be packaged appropriately as to minimize any unnecessary damage during transit. Product(s) damaged during shipment will invalidate both the warranty and RMA and will be returned to the customer at the customer’s expense.
All Warranty Exchange replacements are subject to product availability. If an exact replacement is not available upon testing RAQport will substitute the product(s) with a similar, suitable, or upgraded product(s) of equal or greater value within 7 to 10 business days. If none of these options are available RAQport will credit the customer’s account based upon current market value of the received product(s).
Per product descriptions, compatibility can be reasonably assured in most cases but can never be guaranteed; a product that is incompatible in a specific hardware/software environment is not therefore automatically "defective".
Return Policies subject to change without prior notice. Customer should review these return policies prior to making purchase.The sudden demise of the Sun Cobalt RaQ has left ISPs and hosting companies with a time bomb: hundreds of thousands of RaQ servers worldwide starting to wear out with no viable replacement. Fortunately, Centos Blue Quartz is the answer.Since 1998 Cobalt RaQs have dominated the hosting market. Hundreds of thousands of these massively popular servers are still in service today hosting millions of web sites worldwide. The reason for the popularity of the product was quite simple; it was easy to deploy and easy to manage. This allowed ISPs and hosting companies to provide a high level service to their customers without the high costs associated with managing their web sites for them. The RaQ s software gave the customer control of the website whilst the ISP looked after the hardware.In late 2000, Sun purchased Cobalt Networks Inc., scooping up both the company's server line and Cobalt's sales force in a stock-for-stock deal worth about $2.1 billion.In an orientation training directly after the "merger" (as they called it at the time, partially to keep Cobalt folks happy and partially to justify the $2bn cost), Sun's HR folks swore that one of the reasons that Sun bought Cobalt was to teach Sun how to move like a small company again. Trying to get 250 so people to infect a culture of nearly 40,000 (at the time) was ridiculous. It has taken -years- for Sun to see the big picture on Linux and it still don't seem to get the real picture.Statement from the former Cobalt Sun employee"Being an ex-Cobalt and Sun employee, I would love to tell you a little more. First off, even though I was fairly early into Cobalt, not all of us made lots of money; in fact I made what I can only say was peanuts. It is fair to say the only Porsche I could have afforded would have been a dinky toy. Sun treated us like second class citizens, and the Sun reps were negative about Linux, and did not want to sell the products.Cobalt was the best product on the market, there is still really nothing like it out there. Interesting point to make is that have a look at the latest IDC figures, appliance servers are well up in figures, well above the estimates, with none of the bigboys their, oh and Sun, oh that's right, they have killed their only appliance off"In late 2000, Ed Zander (then president and chief operating officer of Sun Microsystems Inc. and now recently tapped as CEO and president of Motorola) said of Sun's Cobalt server line: "We think the demand for these high-volume, turnkey devices will explode in the next couple of years. Cobalt is our bet for the future." That future lasted only three years. On February 2004 the company announced that it will discontinue the last model in its Cobalt product line, the RaQ 550 server, following September end-of-life notices for the rest of the Cobalt line.Although the Cobalt line of 1U servers proved popular. According to Netcraft statistics, the number of sites hosted on Cobalt's has declined from a peak of 3.1 million hostnames and 942,000 active sites in August 2002 to 871,000 hostnames and 511,000 active sites in November 2004. Today s challenge for ISPs is how to move customers websites from an ageing RaQ to a new server without having to migrate each one by hand, whilst preserving the familiar interface that loyal customers have grown to love. With most ISPs having exhausted their supply of RaQ spare parts, they can no longer afford to wait before finding an alternative platform. However, the task of porting customers websites is expensive, time-consuming and problematic.What ISPs are desperate for is a fast, affordable and easy-to-use solution which allows them to migrate customer web sites whilst retaining the same user interface. This was the task that Centos Blue Quartz set themselves: to design a replacement product and a migration tool that would meet this need. The result is the Centos Blue Quartz server sold by RAQport.com Arlington Virginia Company and Solarspeed.net in GermanyCentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance as worthy successor of the RaQ550. It is much faster than a RaQ550. The software (OS and GUI) are open source projects with a pretty active developer- and user-base.We have ported our RaQ550, RAQXTR and RAQ4 software to the CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance and extras like the SPAM-Filter, AV-Suite, Security Package, php, MySQL, Aw-stats, MRTG and latest PHP/MYSQL ( subject of additional cost see more RAQport.com Ebay Auctions )Aside from offering professional installation services we also plan on releasing certain pre-packaged software for free for this new and exciting platform.Centos Blue Quartz have taken the strategic decision to retain the RaQ's innovative and popular user interface. This means that customers migrating to the Centos Blue Quartz Servers will not have to worry about a steep learning curve. All of the tools for creating and maintaining their websites and e-mail accounts will look and operate in exactly the same way as they did before. As Alex Bajan RAQport CEO explains, There is a huge loyal customer base that has kept faith with the product because of its simplicity and ease of use. Our aim was to retain all of the things that made the original RaQ a success whilst solving the immediate challenge of sustainability. Centos Blue Quartz Server takes advantage of the latest developments in hardware technology offering significantly more performance and capacity than the original RaQ product. This means that ISPs will be able to host more domains on each server meaning more revenue per square meter of rack space they key to profitability in this competitive industry.Another concern that Centos Blue Quartz have addressed is the issue of ongoing product development. A team based in the US, Germany and Australia is responsible for maintaining the product and ensuring that it continues to meet the requirements of the web hosting industry. Centos Blue Quartz ensure that the Server OS is kept up-to-date with the latest security releases. One of the advantages of the Centos Blue Quartz over the original RaQ is that critical updates and security patches are downloaded and installed automatically every night without requiring any user intervention. This is of real benefit to ISPs who have many servers to maintain as they can virtually leave them to manage themselves.Centos Blue Quartz and RAQport.com development team also tackled a number of the RaQ s other shortcomings prior to launching the Server. The old e-mail server software Sendmail with Qpopper was replaced with the more feature-rich and secure applications. The Apache web server and associated development tools such as PHP and Perl were also updated to the latest stable versions. Alex Bajan of RaQport.com explained the reasons for adopting this approach, We wanted to maintain as stable a product as we could and this meant selecting the latest software components and a market-leading version of the Linux operating system Centos Blue Quartz rather than developing our own as other vendors have done. The customer benefits because security patches are released faster, the product is more reliable and their investment future-proofed.Perhaps the most attractive feature of Centos Blue Quartz for existing users of the RaQ is the in-built migration tool CMU. Michael Stauber explains the advantages of this software utility, CMU and enables ISPs to rapidly migrate any number of domains, websites and e-mail accounts from a RaQ server to an BlueQuartz Server Appliance in a matter of minutes. The process is simple and secure and requires no specialist training. As a result downtime is minimized and customer satisfaction maintained.Let's say you own a Cobalt RaQ and have plenty of software from us installed. Like the AV-Suite, SPAM-Filter, PHP, MySQL, phpMyAdmin and the Security Package. Or any other paid software install that we offer. Do you need to buy the software again if you decide to move on to a CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance? No. We offer to migrate the software for you based on our upgrade pricing list $75.00 for application.Sites, users, mailing lists and settings can directly be imported with the built in CMU from any Cobalt RaQ. So this is an inexpensive way to trade the aging Cobalt RaQ's against much more modern hard- and software, while retaining the well known functionality and GUI interface. A CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance can do everything a RaQ550 can do as well (including Frontpage and but not Chilisoft ASP You can buy from Sun) - and it does it much faster. The serial ATA hardisks have a throughput of approximately 50 MBit/seconds and even the basic model with a 2.4GHz CPU outperforms a RaQ550 by several magnitudes. Aside from the speed there are other compelling reasons to consider replacing existing RaQ3, RaQ4, XTR and RaQ550 with a CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance:Security: The much more modern operating system uses an up to date 2.6-kernel.

The CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance's GUI is almost identical to that of a RaQ550 and neither neither your web hosting customers, nor you yourself have to adapt much. Cobalt's range of servers became dominant in the marketplace because they satisfied the ISP communities need for an affordable yet powerful solution that allowed ordinary non-technical users to maintain their own websites and e-mail. This combination of functionality and low-cost was one of the factors that contributed to the dot com boom of the late 90s. Although the boom has subsided, all of those RaQ servers are still there albeit starting to creak somewhat as their workload increases. With CentOS + BlueQuartz Server's, ISPs and hosting companies can build on customer loyalty by providing improved performance, security and reliability. The CentOS + BlueQuartz Server retain what was best about the RaQ and builds on it, producing a state-of-the-art solution that will appeal to new users and loyal customers alike.

This server appliance uses CentOS as operating system. As GUI interface it uses BlueQuartz, which is based on the open sourced RaQ550 Sausalito architecture from Sun Cobalt.
Sites, users, mailing lists and settings can directly be imported with the built in CMU from any Cobalt RaQ. So this is an inexpensive way to trade the aging Cobalt RaQ’s against much more modern hard- and software, while retaining the well known functionality and GUI interface.
A CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance can do everything a RaQ550 and it does it much faster. A CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance can do all including Frontpage.

RAQport.com AV-SPAM v5 for BlueQuartz SPAM filtering-additional Settings Info.

2008-03-27T12:37:00.000-07:00

> We are having a bizarre issue with our current server
> in regards to SPAM, spam server is up and running, and has been restarted a
> few times, but a lot of spam is still getting through
> even messages that were normally blocked from before.
> The only thing I've noticed is that there was a connection loss with the
> mysql database engine which looks to be created after resetting the mysql
> database password for the spam engine.

If the AV-SPAM cannot connect to MySQL, then that will result in a dramatic
drop in detection of SPAMs. I just checked it and that is working now.

> I do notice a lot of error message in the maillog in regards to the spam
> daemon, they read as follows:
>
> config: cannot write to /var/spool/mqueue/.spamassassin/user_prefs:
> Permission denied
> spamd: failed to create readable default_prefs:
> /var/spool/mqueue/.spamassassin/user_prefs

These messages can be ignored. It's a notice only and has no ill side effects.
It just means that a message for someone is processed who is ...

a) either not a local user on the server
b) therefore has no default_prefs config file
c) the default settings will be used for him anyway
d) creation of the /var/spool/mqueue/.spamassassin/user_prefs failed, which
isn't needed anyway for non-local users.

To suppress those notice messages in the log I just went ahead and created the
directory /var/spool/mqueue/.spamassassin/, but even if it were not present it
wouldn't matter.

> checking through ssh that pass doesn't exist and that user prefs are stored
> in home directories

The SpamAssassin config files will always be stored in
~username/.spamassassin/

If they're edited through the GUI a copy of that file is left in
/var/spool/av-spam/, but those are just temporary files which are only used by
the GUI - not by SpamAssassin itself.

Now the problems with your AV-SPAM were as follows - and they're fixed now:

1.) Reject Highscoring SPAM was set to "No". This really should be enabled.
It'll cut down a lot of your load. I changed it so that it's now on and
rejects all SPAM with a score above 8.

You will notice that the load of your server went from 12.00 to below 1.00 as
soon as I had re-enabled rejection of high scoring SPAM.

It would go even lower if Greylisting were enabled, but as indicated in the
docs Greylisting is often undesired as it will also delay legitimate emails
(for ~15 minutes) from users who haven' emailed you in the last 7 days.

2.) AV-SPAM was deleting/quarantining SPAM for users that were using that
feature. This was because the permissions on some/many user home directories
were wrong. Hence you get a ton of "suspicious procmailrc file" error messages
in /var/log/messages. I fixed that by running these two commands:

ls -k1 /home/sites/*/users/*/.procmailrc sed s/\\/.procmailrc// xargs
chmod 2741

ls -k1 /home/sites/*/users/*/.spamassassin sed s/:// grep -v bayesgrep -v
user_prefs grep ^/ xargs chmod 2700

That changed ALL user home directories to the correct permissions (1st
command) and then changed the permissions on the ~username/spamassassin/
directories to what they need to be (as the 1st command messed that up).

As far as I can see from the logfile and statistics the AV-SPAM is now working
fine again।

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.
Included OS templates:
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)

OS templates available through YUM:
Additional OS templates are available on the Aventurin{e} update repository and can be installed with the command "yum install ". The following OS templates are currently available this way (more will be added later):

CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance is built on the community version of Redhat Enterprise Linux called Centos.

RAQport ships all the systems listed below worldwide.
This server appliance uses CentOS as operating system. As GUI interface it uses BlueQuartz, which is based on the open sourced RaQ550 Sausalito architecture from Sun Cobalt.
Sites, users, mailing lists and settings can directly be imported with the built in CMU from any Cobalt RaQ. So this is an inexpensive way to trade the aging Cobalt RaQs against much more modern hard- and software, while retaining the well known functionality and GUI interface.
A CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance can do everything a RaQ550 and it does it much faster. A CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance can do all including Frontpage. We do not have Chilisoft ASP at this moment ) - The serial ATA hardisks have a throughput of approximately 50 MBit/seconds and even the basic model with a 2.8GHz CPU outperforms a RaQ550 by several magnitudes.
Aside from the speed there are other compelling reasons to consider replacing existing RaQ3, RaQ4, XTR and RaQ550 with a CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance:

Migratrion from Sun Cobalt Qube 3 to Centos BlueQuartz

Migratrion from Sun Cobalt Qube 3 to Centos BlueQuartz
CMU doesn't support to migrate from Qube to RaQ series.
So, it isn't easy to migrate this path.
I recommend you to export user name from Qube3 and import to
BlueQuartz.
And, you can upload the web contents to BlueQuartz.

Aventurin{e} is ideal for webhosting companies and companies with their own IT infrastructure

2008-03-06T06:35:00.000-08:00

The name of the product will be Aventurin{e}.

I don't want to spill too many details now, but this is what I can already
say:

- Run multiple instances of CentOS + BlueQuartz (and other Linux
distributions) on the same server with tight resource management for each
virtual server.

- Clustering support with fail over mechanisms. Two identical servers,
connected via 2nd network interface, doing constant RAID-over-ethernet. If
the primary server goes down, the 2ndary inherits all network settings and
switches itself onto the public network, continuing to serve requests where
the primary failed.

- Backups: No more CMU. Backs up the entire server down to the last file and
allows easy restores within a matter of minutes. Runs independently of the
clustering and therefore provides additional means to preserve your valueable
data.

- Migrations of running (virtual) servers almost without downtime.

- Possibility to import existing CentOS + BlueQuartz server (in fact any Linux
distribution) as virtual server.

- Easy to use and intuitive GUI interface.

- As easy to install as CentOS + BlueQuartz।

Aventurine Server 5 VPS Tyan GS14 3.0 Ghz dual 250 GB 1 Gig RAQCode: Aventurine500zWeight: 0।00Price: $1,759.00
What is Aventurin{e}?
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.
Included OS templates:
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)

OS templates available through YUM:
Additional OS templates are available on the Aventurin{e} update repository and can be installed with the command "yum install ". The following OS templates are currently available this way (more will be added later):
CentOS v4 (default install)
CentOS v5 (minimal install)
CentOS v5 (default install)
Debian v4 (minimal install)

Paid OS templates:
The following extra OS templates are available at extra costs as commercial add on:
Zenoss v2 (Network Monitoring Appliance Software)
CentOS + BlueQuartz v4.8 with all Solarspeed BlueQuartz extra software pre-installed
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.
Quick Overview:
• Plug-and-play: start hosting web sites in minutes • Sub 1U form factor • High speed drives, memory, and processor for diverse web applications • Hosts hundreds of virtual sites with IP- and/or name-based lookups • Standard web services like DNS, SMTP, FTP, SNMP, etc. included standard • Compatible with Sun Cobalt RaQ550 users and sites

CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance is built on the community version of Redhat Enterprise Linux called Centos.
Software Installed:
Apache 2.0.52 PHP 4.3.9 MySQL 4.1.20 Perl 5.8.5 Python 2.3.4 Bind v9.2.4 Sendmail v8.13 w/ SMTP Authentication Microsoft Front Page 2002 Installed CMU Tools Installed CCE Shell ToolsMidnight Commander Installed RAID v3.1 PKG
RAQport ships all the systems listed below worldwide.
This server appliance uses CentOS as operating system. As GUI interface it uses BlueQuartz, which is based on the open sourced RaQ550 Sausalito architecture from Sun Cobalt.
Sites, users, mailing lists and settings can directly be imported with the built in CMU from any Cobalt RaQ. So this is an inexpensive way to trade the aging Cobalt RaQs against much more modern hard- and software, while retaining the well known functionality and GUI interface.
A CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance can do everything a RaQ550 and it does it much faster. A CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance can do all including Frontpage. We do not have Chilisoft ASP at this moment ) - The serial ATA hardisks have a throughput of approximately 50 MBit/seconds and even the basic model with a 2.8GHz CPU outperforms a RaQ550 by several magnitudes.
Aside from the speed there are other compelling reasons to consider replacing existing RaQ3, RaQ4, XTR and RaQ550 with a CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance:

CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance is built on the community version of Redhat Enterprise Linux called Centos.

RAQport ships all the systems listed below worldwide.
This server appliance uses CentOS as operating system. As GUI interface it uses BlueQuartz, which is based on the open sourced RaQ550 Sausalito architecture from Sun Cobalt.
Sites, users, mailing lists and settings can directly be imported with the built in CMU from any Cobalt RaQ. So this is an inexpensive way to trade the aging Cobalt RaQs against much more modern hard- and software, while retaining the well known functionality and GUI interface.
A CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance can do everything a RaQ550 and it does it much faster. A CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance can do all including Frontpage. We do not have Chilisoft ASP at this moment ) - The serial ATA hardisks have a throughput of approximately 50 MBit/seconds and even the basic model with a 2.8GHz CPU outperforms a RaQ550 by several magnitudes.
Aside from the speed there are other compelling reasons to consider replacing existing RaQ3, RaQ4, XTR and RaQ550 with a CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance:

Bluequartz ist ein Open-Source Betriebssystem für virtuelle Webserver. Es ist die Weiterentwicklung von Sun Cobalt OS. Bluequartz basiert auf dem freien CentOS, dem zu Redhat Enterprise binärkompatiblen Linux.

Nachdem Sun Cobalt Networks Inc। aufgekauft hatte, wurde der Verkauf von Cobalt RAQ und Cobalt Qube nach einiger Zeit eingestellt. Das Serverbetriebssystem wird seit dem unter dem Namen Bluequartz als Open-Source Projekt unter der Leitung des Japaners Hisao Shibuya weiter entwickelt. Brian N. Smith ist der Maintainer der Bluequartz Boot-CD.
