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 to replace my oldest ones there is a better solution. So 2 years time!

Although this does raise eyebrows about Apples plans for Enterprise and further support within this realm for own devices considering uptake of said devices. Media companies could be scratching heads with FCP server and Xsan a small problem, hopefully SJ pulls Rabbit out of hat for these, although I think acceptance into other servers with software could be inevitable. > >Cheers! >`RobD.... > >On 07Nov2010, at 2:39 am, Rob Davies wrote: > >Morning, > >No need to add OS X standard as OS X server is a standard install of OS X with >the Daemons accessible to the uninitiated and some administrative software. > >So it still behaves as per OS X just a bit more fruit to access if required, >as OS X standard can be employed to behave as OS X server if initiated. > >Save the bucks, but a catch must be had somewhere? > >Cheers! >RobD... > >On 05Nov2010, at 10:44 pm, Daniel Kerr wrote: > > >I notice they've now added the "Mac Pro Server" version to the Apple Store >as well. > >Though,..am I missing something here:- >(OK,..here goes).
