This makes perfect sense. I've been wondering why they keep selling the Xserves anyway. It's not Apple's market and they can't differentiate themselves enough in the server market.
- doron 16y agoThe differentiated themselves alright, by making a substandard server, you cant virtulize. It looked nice on the shelf.
- sudont 16y agoRight. The server software will live on, but it's more for small-mac-based offices and administering those macs. I've never seen anyone outside of 40-man design companies with an xserve. Nowadays a mac mini can handle that load fairly well.
- c1sc0 16y agoMake that 40-man design shops & Biotech labs that don't have the manpower to maintain a decent analysis pipeline. I saw a bio Xserve setup a few years ago & was blown away by ... how 'shiny' the setup was. But that was about it: Xserves make no sense if what you're after is raw power.
