(fr) Cobalt Networks公司於1996年在加州的山景城成立，是一家專門研發產製低價Linux伺服器（也稱：伺服器）的業者，當時稱為Cobalt Microserver Inc.。該公司也是易用型伺服應用機（，也稱：精簡型伺服器）的先鋒業者，而產品的訴求用戶主要為網際服務供應商（Internet Service Provider；ISP）及中小企業（；SMB），用戶可以透過具安全防護性的遠端遙控、傳輸來操作管理伺服應用機，該機自身已具多種智慧型（也稱：智能型）的網路環境與組態（也稱：配置）偵測能力，並自行完成多數的合適設定，使用者只要就數個簡單項目進行檢視、調整，就可立即享用網路服務，往後在維護管理上也相當輕鬆省力。 之後到了1999年11月5日，Cobalt公司成功的完成首次公开募股（Initial Public Offerings；IPO），其NASDAQ股票代號為COBT，股票首次掛牌公開發行後，從最初的22美元一路飆漲到128.13美元坐收。一年後，昇陽電腦（Sun Microsystems）以換股方式[1]併購Cobalt Networks公司，昇陽電腦期望透過此一併購能夠與其他Linux伺服器的業者競爭。 不過，Cobalt成為昇陽電腦的新系列產品線後（Cobalt一稱從公司名稱轉變成產品的系列名稱），除了有些初期的成功外，之後就逐漸不斷地走弱，到了2003年已停產多款Cobalt系列的產品，到了2004年2月19日則完全停產Cobalt系列的各項產品，但昇陽電腦仍承諾持續提供三年的後續支援服務，自此Cobalt完全走入歷史[2]。最後昇陽電腦將Cobalt產品的軟體、韌體程式釋出成開放原碼（也稱：源代碼）。 (zh) |
