    Three (3) Sun Cobalt RaQ 550 web/email servers for sale. Used, excellent condition and well maintained. 1 server is PIII 1.0 GHz, the other 2 are 1.26 GHz, all 3 have 1 GB RAM, 80 GB x 2 HDD in RAID 1 and mounting ears. OS Restore CD and instructions included.

    Info and specs on these servers at:
    http://www.sun.com/hardware/serverappliances/raq550/

    $750 or best offer for all 3, cash and local pickup only. Thanks!

    Got tired of maintaining my own servers and moved my sites to a webhost provider, though was fun having root access.

    Here is more information about the servers and additions to the For Sale.

    The 3 servers listed were my backups, so they spent a lot more time offline than online, which I'm keeping 2 servers (I have 5 of these) that were my main ones. These 3 servers are pretty much crispy clean re: the OS. I did OS restores, all updates/patches and install of various support packages, e.g., security, spam assassin, PHP/MySQL/Perl upgrades, backup. I was the only user and the only one with root access.

    These servers are ready to go for your web, email, FTP, etc. needs. All you need to do is change to your IP address via the server's front panel controls, then access the admin control panel via your browser.

    I'm also including 2 CD's I just burned, which includes lots of goodies from my work with the servers and lots of time spent on the RaQ550 listserves and boards.

    CD #1 content: OS Restore ISO; this is the solid/preferred OS restore version; 259-3894-13-RaQ550.iso

    CD #2 contents:
    • RaQ 550 Server User Manual
    • OS Restore CD Instructions
    • RaQ 550 Restore Checklist; my adaptation, includes install order of updates/patches and links to all patches/packages that are still available on Sun's FTP site
    • Auto-download all update packages shell script
    • Auto-install all update packages shell script
      [*]Updating all patches after an OS restore typically takes about 30 minutes with very minimal amount of user input using these shell scripts with the command line, bypassing all the crazy numerous web admin GUI inputs​
    • Support applications in the RaQ 550 .pkg format with GUI in web admin control panel (below are also already installed on the servers):
      [*]Backup System
      [*]Mailscanner with Clam-Antivirus
      [*]Security - firewall, chkrootkit, port scan, fcheck, etc
      [*]SpamAssassin
      [*]PHP upgrade, phpMyAdmin
      [*]SSH upgrade
      [*]Webalizer
      [*]OpenWebmail​

    $750 OBO for all 3 servers.

    Of course, you can blow it all out and install a different OS like CentOS/BlueQuartz.

    Feel free to PM me if you have any other questions. Thanks!
