#APPLE SERVER OS DATA CENTER VMWARE SOFTWARE#

I don’t see an issue if you pay for them I don’t see why you can’t use them how you see fit. Apple will support the hardware and host OS, Parallels would most likely support any issues particular to them, MS support is what it is…kinda depends on a particular situation in all cases. It’s easier to monitor and manage and in my professional perspective more cost effective and raises my productivity through the roof.Įverything is supported, in one way or another. To me, having the capability of consolidating three McSoft machines into a single Apple server is a plus.

As far as the hardware, I can actually sit at a client and log into and work with the headless Xserver, monitor its systems, manipulate files, monitor other workstations, etc.

The server software is rock-solid stable and easy to work with once you understand its workflow. The one really nice thing about OSX and Apple hardware is its quality. I’d love to see a TCO study on how that is considered cost effective. McSoft telephone support is generally $250 per call on our campus and I’ve seen those calls last from nine to ten hours. I like to research off the net before I even like to talk on the telephone to some person in a prison or around the globe somewhere who is reading off of computer screen. Our newest Xserver and its RAID were purchased this way. They will `sharpen their pencils` if they want to make a sale. There are other vendors out there who purchase Apple hardware in bulk and resale them. I work in a real production environment that is blended with Unix, Linux, OSX and of course the McSoft trashware.
