The Xserve, the jewel in A le's enterprise crown. We all know that A le mi ed their target ship date, but that's ok if you believe what Tom Yager is saying. His two part review (part one, part two) paints a picture of a near perfect 1U server that is more than capable of handling most jo . Tom does warn that if you are just looking at the list of parts that make up the Xserve you won't see the full picture. As with all Macs the Xserve is more than its components, it is also the software that is ru ing on it. All Xserves come with Mac OS X Server 10.4 Unlimited-Client Edition at no extra cost, and once you power it on this thing is ready to go.
Now, Tom mentio that this i 't a perfect server and if you're looking only at numbers you can build on for yourself at a cheaper price, but you'll be mi ing out on all the nice touches: the OS, the mix and match hard drives, the large number of Firewire and U ports, and so much more.
