Cobalt Founder Discusses the Future of Low-Cost Servers and the Vision of a Server on Every Shelf on IT Radio Network.Business Editors LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 2, 2000 In a recent interview with the newly launched eBusiness audio Webzine IT Radio Network, Cobalt Networks Co-Founder Mark Orr (Nasdaq:COBT) discussed how business development is driving the economy. "From the point of view of business development," said Orr. "It gives the opportunity to really see how people are using products and more importantly, what they need to be able to use them better." During the interview, Orr also discussed server technology so simple that anybody can run their own enterprise efficiently and inexpensively. "Cobalt has complete product offerings that start at $1,000," said Orr. "The basic proposition is that a small-business person can be up and running, serving e-mail, serving Web content -- all in about 15 minutes." Orr also compared the growth of servers to early days of cable and cell phones. "Much like cell phones are now given away in exchange for service," said Orr, "I think you will see the same thing happening with Internet servers as well." Orr also discussed Cobalt's partnership with Oracle (Nasdaq:ORCL ORCL Oracle (stock symbol) ). "Oracle was really among the first of the major database companies to announce support for Linux," Orr said. "What Cobalt gets out of this is a community of developers who build world class solutions that meet the needs of not just the Fortune 500, but the Fortune 5 Million."
