RE: Minis running the Asylum ?

Yes, we ran Dell servers for years moving up from a 1950, 2450 to 2850s and an R710. Over time, it became apparent that power costs were our largest expense. A buddy of mine had moved all of his sites to Mac Vault and was blown away with the performance and cost, so we looked into it and decided to move in that direction.

Now, the whole server farm uses less power than one Dell server. My only complaint is Apple's version of BSD is a bit mangled causing me to call Munix and when you do updates, they tend to break like changing apps to default ports blowing away your changes.

On the upside, running on SSDs has improved performance for some apps.
