Apple would need to make rackmount versions of the machines with replaceable storage and maybe RAM and would really need to really beef up their headless management systems of the machines before they start becoming competitive.
Otherwise you need a whole bunch of custom mac mini style racks and management software which really increases costs and lead times. If you don't believe me, look how expensive AWS macOS machines are compared to linux ones with equivalent performance.
- poyu 3y agoThey already make rack mount Mac Pros. But yeah they need to up their game on the management software
- mac-mc 3y agoThose are not efficient at all for a data center on size and cost compared to equivalent mac minis or studios on a tray. The rackmount format was made for music production and is very quiet for that reason.
