Actually, when Tom Camp presented at our Linux Business Breakfast, his
pitch was more geared towards Internet Service Vendors and LARGE scale
hosting customers. My impression was that Cobalt has a significant inroad
in this market and sees it as -THE- catalyst for their future sales. But
they also seem to be heding their bets on the flexibility of the Raq
concepts by allowing customers to intergrate additional solutions into
their products. The proliferation of new products that are available for
the Cobalt RAQ-3 are completely MIND bending. It's great! It gives us, as
customers SUCH incredible diversity and choice!
