Since 1998 Solarspeed.net offers software installations on server appliances like the Sun Cobalt and CentOS + BlueQuartz server appliances. 

In 2009 we released BlueOnyx, the next generation of BlueQuartz server appliance software.

BlueOnyx is a Linux distribution (based on a modern enterprise linux) which aims at delivering a turnkey server appliance for webhosting. It comes with a web based GUI interface which allows you (and your email, FTP and webhosting clients!) to manage most aspects of the server, its sites and accounts through a browser based interface. It is open source software, released under a Sun modified BSD license.

In the fall of 2006 we developed Aventurin{e}, which is a Linux Virtualization Appliance.

Aventurin{e} allows you - with the same ease as on a Cobalt RaQ, BlueQuartz or BlueOnyx server - to create and manage virtual private servers. These virtual private servers can even run different Linux and even Windows distributions as VPS's. So on one Aventurin{e} master node you can run multiple different distributions side by side. This makes it ideal for ISPs or companies with their own IT infrastructure, as you can utilize your existing hardware in the most efficient fashion.

We offer Aventurin{e} as downloadable ISO image, but also sell servers (and even clusters!) with Aventurin{e} pre-installed.

We also offer server migrations, Linux consulting and troubleshooting related to these appliances as well as regular support options.

We have put together a lot of software packages designed with the unique demands in mind which anyone who operates such a server appliance might have. Aside from commercially bundled software we also offer free downloads of ready to run PKG or RPM files.

Our software is designed to ensure a trouble free, relieable and secure operation of your server appliance - may that be an Aventurin{e} or BlueOnyx server. We also help out to troubleshoot specific issues which one might have with a server appliance and help with server migrations, installation of third party software or check servers for compromises and root kits.

What can we do for you?
