Personal Computers: Apple Mac mini MC408LL/A Snow Leopard Server

This is usually a fantastic minor machine. I'm replacing a cluster of old G4 and G5 XServes that were applied as web-application servers with these minor guys and I am extremely happy with these. Even though OS X server is included, I usually replace it with OS X Customer for servers dedicated to Apache-WebObjects-MySQL application hosting since I locate remote command line administration of OS X Client is far more familiar and convenient to me. On the other hand if employing some from the a lot of other server services, I will leave OS X Server operating system on there.

Prior to Mac Mini Server arrived on the scene, several have been applying normal Mac Minis as servers for little internet sites and modest company. Now Apple has endorsed the use in the Mac Mini as an economical server by selling it in this fantastic sub-$1000 package with two 500GB drives. The extra drive is far more helpful than the built-in DVD drive in a server usage scenario. It is possible to use software mirroring, or simply use Carbon Copy Cloner to perform automatic nightly backups towards the second drive.

And this minor machine consumes a fraction from the power of an XServe and offers near silent operation when compared to a noisy whining G5 XServe. Read More About Apple Mac mini MC408LL/A Snow Leopard Server Review.
