What about a Mac Mini? It doesn't address all of your concerns but could be a useful solution.
A Mac Pro addresses your concerns a bit better but there is a larger price tag.
I have used Mini's for servers for years and they hold up pretty well.
- plorg 10y agoI don't think OP is saying there is literally no hardware on which to run the OS, just that by restricting it to Apple products and then not producing any actual server-grade hardware, the offering seems pretty pointless.
- jason_slack 10y agoI guess my sarcasm radar didn't go off...
- KaiserPro 10y agoSadly the mac mini is single PSU and single 1 gig nic. (putting aside under powered/poor storage)
- lloeki 10y agoMac Minis are underpowered dual-core, I wish they kept the quad core options around. And the Mac Pro is so outdated for the price tag it's not even funny (although I could consider one if the price were slashed by a half or more).
- jason_slack 10y agoThey are not powerhouse machines that is for sure. For small stuff they work great. I don't think I would ever deploy one for anything mission critical/large volume of users. My Mac Pro still feels very useful to me. I use it daily as my main machine. I may consider upgrading the SSD to a TB when the prices come down.
