What is the Rac Pro for? Are people using OS X as a server?
- lnsp 7y agoIt's mainly used for CI build servers. I know of a FANG company that just stacks iMac Pros on a shelf, they will definitely be happy about a powerful rackmount server.
- frutiger 7y agoI almost did this for a recent (non-FANG) CI project, but I went for Mac Minis instead (they have more aftermarket rackmount options). If I need more throughput I’ll probably upgrade to the racked Mac Pros.
- ganoushoreilly 7y agoIt's not uncommon in the Audio production world to rack your machine in another room and use Fiber between the two to control it. If I upgrade the iMac Pro in my studio, i'd probably still grab the rack mount model as well and keep it in the studio. Assuming the noise profiles advertised are accurate.

- geerlingguy 7y agoBuild servers, render servers, more rugged installation in a mobile video edit studio (e.g. in a rack that's mounted in a vehicle or on a mobile workstation that can be rolled out on a set).
