Test: Einzeltest: Mac mini with Lion Server
Zitat: The Mac mini with Lion Server is a real improvement on an already solid performer. In its target market (companies with up to 200 users), it is an outstanding performer and is also a capable utility server in a wide range of usage needs. The Mac mini server is not a good choice if you need hot-swappable components or redundant power supplies in a single box, but the Mac mini server´s cost allows you to achieve redundancy in other ways. While the standard configuration is an attractive setup, consider paying the extra money for SSDs, since they add considerable performance for the price. The addition of Thunderbolt to the Mac mini server, as well as some timely third-party products has increased the capability of the Mac mini server far beyond that of the previous version. The lack of ECC RAM and a somewhat limited ability to remotely monitor hardware conditions are notable, but they should not stop anyone from implementing a Mac mini server. Lion Server has some issues, but as they´re fixed, the Mac mini will become an even more excellent server.
