Software Developers Release
Cobalt Networks is pleased to offer Secure Server Software for Cobalt microservers.
ISPs and Web developers now have the assurance of secure Internet Commerce in
a Cobalt-enabled network.
The implementation of SSL uses the public-and-private key encryption system from
RSA, which also includes the use of a digital certificate. The RSA algorithm
is the most commonly used encryption and authentication algorithm.
Netscape and Microsoft include the client part of SSL as part of their Web browsers.
If a Web site is on an SSL-enabled Cobalt server, Web pages can be identified
as requiring SSL access.
Open, Standards-based Design
The Cobalt RaQ microserver includes all software that ISPs and developers need
to develop and host web sites, including the Linux operating system, Apache web
server, and Perl scripting language. For the programmer, standard development
tools include compilers, editors, header files, and libraries.
Browser-based Administration
and Maintenance, plus SNMP
All administration and maintenance is browser-based for simple remote administration.
The ISP (or designated end-user administrator) can add and delete registered
users or email accounts, and monitor the system all from the browser.
Maintenance agents provide alerts if they detect potential problems,
giving the administrator time to take action before problems become serious.
SNMP support means ISPs can also manage the Cobalt RaQ microserver with
the same standards-based network management applications they use to
manage other network devices.
Outstanding Performance
The Cobalt RaQ microserver can easily handle the requirements of even sophisticated
sites. Each machine can concurrently handle over 140,000 emails, 50,000
file transfers, and over 250,000 web page requests in one day. If being
used only as a web server, each machine can handle over seven million
web page requests per day.

Limitations:
Due to restrictions imposed by the US Government, this software may not be
distributed outside the U.S. and Canada.
In order for this software to be used effectively, familiarity with the Unix
operating system is required -- specifically directory structures & telnet.
Additional modules may be added to the Apache server by compiling a custom
version of Apache-SSL and linking to the licensed version of the BSAFE library
included with the Cobalt SSL Upgrade. A separate license is required for
each Cobalt microserver.
