[cobalt-users] Buying a RaQ 4 with RAID: Good idea?

["Michelle A. Hoyle" <michelle@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings, List.

We're considering buying/leasing a RaQ 4 with RAID and we're 
wondering how people who already have obtained one feel about it. 
We're a firm specialising in the development and deployment of 
Internet sites for medium to large-size organizations.  We're 
migrating from doing most of our deployment on the customer's 
ISP/internal servers to offering hosting and maintenance agreements. 
Previously we've done our deployment on RaQ2's and I've been 
reasonably pleased with how that's worked out, although it's missing 
a lot of the "nice" features of the 4 like ASP, built-in SSL, 
bandwidth management, disk mirroring, etc.

If you're working on a RaQ4,

1) Do you think it's worth the price?
2) Is it a stable, well-integrated product?
3) Is it a suitable environment for doing the kind of hosting that we 
provide, where we normally allow customers the possibility to do some 
management of their site but they don't normally have the ability to 
log-in or do ftp themselves?

Thanks in advances for your opinions.
