Who is the target audience / client here?

- danpalmer 10y agoIn my experience it has typically been small businesses (think 5-30 people) or sometimes schools where they might have one room of ~20 Macs to network.
- izacus 10y agoDon't you need it for any kind of mass provisioning of Macs in any case?
- danpalmer 10y agoAs I understand it, no. For mass provisioning there are more "enterprise" grade third party tools for the provisioning, and it can back on to Active Directory (with some additional software I think) for enterprise deployments. From what I understand, I don't think macOS Server scales to large volumes of users.

- jrcii 10y agoThis would be perfect for a small creative agency with one or two dozen Macs, for instance.
- scolson 10y agoAs others have said, the general stack is good for small businesses, and they will likely just run it on a mac mini. The one component that any sized org can really benefit from is the caching server, which stores app store and OS updates on the local network so your 10 or 1000 machines aren't all saturating your internet connection. Even here, running it on a Mac Mini isn't that big of a deal as it is neither mission critical nor underpowered for this one task. And given the size, a mini almost fits anywhere.
