G5 Xserve was recently released ...
http://www.apple.com/xserve/ 1U, 19in rack mount unit, with multi-platform compatibility (mac / win / unix) with a lot of power. Bascially, a very attractive proposition, especially for hi-rez recording and DVD post. From reports the unit is selling very well. (Sure, its price and features are aimed at medium to large enterprise.) http://www.macworld.com/news/2005/01/04/xs...serve/index.php For the realists: if you had one of these in yor studio, how would you - given your particular config. and work processes - make use of it? I'm very curious about how people would take advatange of its features. http://www.apple.com/xserve/specs.html For the dreamers: ...do you visualize something that is a like half-step between the Mac Mini and Xserve, an upgradable 1U media server / external processor hub that keeps older model G4s in action (i.e. rather than buying a whole new computer to get the power) and is mobile and robust enough for "out of house" production projects...? What are your thoughts? |
