I have been reading a lot since Apple announced this and still have no real idea what they are thinking! I would really like to know what they are using in their new data centre? or is it Unisys mainframes? I have decided I will buy my last xServe next week and hope that when the time comes t

Morning Again, Ah Ha refreshed Apple store. Entry level is now at $3199, and memory $525. On the side of discontinued, I think Apple could be moving towards mac mini-servers, as this is the market for there server release. Put a few in the network and they perform extraordinarily, and this wou

Re: Apple discontiune Xserve - get them while they last

The server software is the same so yes, but no dual power supplies and in a much bigger form factor than the xserve. So I am very disappointed and will now have to consider windows servers instead :( Roger On 06/11/2010, at 6:25 AM, Stuart Breden wrote: > > Mac Pro Serve cheaper but will it

"The MacPro XServe project"?? See what inventive ways to get all the components into something "half resembling" an XServe :o) "The LC3 XServe" - the all new "pizza box" server :o) OK,..maybe not,...lol. But yes, not the sort of thing you can easily put on a rack, like you could with an Xserve.

Re: Apple discontiune Xserve - get them while they last

Good evening Daniel and all, I think that the Server does not have a Super Drive, and it would not surprise me that it would also not have the full communications facilities (?). I may be wrong though. Regards and good night all, Philippe chaperon (PS Daniel, I'll be seeing you very soon.)

That is very sad, I have been fighting to keep xserves at the office and I have 12 of them and was about to buy another but will now have to give some more thought to it. Yes I know I can get a MacPro but rack space is tight and to have 1 MacPro taking 12u just isn't on :( Roger On 05/11/201
