About the RaQ 3

A RaQ 3 can host multiple Internet or intranet sites or applications, which can provide Web content, email and FTP services. It can be used by three different kinds of users:

• The RaQ 3 Administrator is the person who controls and runs the RaQ 3. This person sets up and maintains the RaQ 3, sets up virtual sites, and sets access privileges and provides services for the Site Administrators and site users. The RaQ 3 Administrator can also act as the Site Administrator for any virtual site. Note: Whereas industry uses the term “virtual host”, Cobalt Networks uses the term “virtual site”. In Cobalt’s definition, a virtual site consists of a Domain Name System (DNS) domain with Web, FTP and email services. Each virtual site contains its own list of site user accounts. Each site user account has its own Web, email spool and any number of email aliases. The fully qualified domain name of a virtual site is unique to that site, while its IP address can be shared by many sites. Demo the Web Admin interface
• The Site Administrator manages a virtual site, located on the RaQ 3, that can provide Web publishing, email and FTP services for the users of the site. The Site Administrator sets up user accounts and access privileges, maintains mailing lists, controls the settings for the virtual site and its FTP service, has access to users’ email settings, can generate reports about the virtual site’s disk and Web usage, and can back up and restore files residing on the site.
• Site users can send and receive email through the site, upload and download files using the FTP service provided by the site, publish their own personal Web page on the site, and back up and restore their home directories.

Supported Services:

* Web serving - The Cobalt RaQ 3 server appliance offers integrated support for HTTP/1.1, Common Gateway Interface (CGI) and Perl scripting.
* Email services - Services include mail accounts for each domain, automatic vacation responses, automatic forwarding and group mailing lists. These services can be managed by the client, minimizing the burden on the email administrator.
* Internet-standard File Transfer Protocol - All files, from a single text article to a full web site, can be easily transferred to or from the Cobalt RaQ 3 using FTP.
* Virtual domain support - The Cobalt RaQ 3 offers name-based virtual domains (single IP address for multiple domains) or IP-based virtual domains (one IP address for each domain).
* Bandwidth Management - On a per-IP-address basis, traffic can be limited to a pre-selected throughput.
* Development Environment - The Cobalt RaQ 3 includes a full suite of standard development tools, including C & C++ compilers, gdb debugger, libraries, X11 libraries & PostgreSQL DBMS. ISPs or their clients can use these tools to build custom, value-added services. ISP and end-user services
