Testurteil: "4.25 out of 5 stars"
Test: Einzeltest: Apple Xserve
Zitat: Pros: + A fast
+ energy-efficient
+ and cost-effective dual-socket 1U rack server. The enormous leap in memory bandwidth makes it possible to do so much more work in the same space
+ Nehalem and Mac OS X seem positively made for each other
Cons: - Nehalem Xserve is not everything it could be
- lower power consumption at idle would be a benefit
Apple´s Nehalem Xserve packs more into one rack unit than any other server. For one price, you get a best-in-class server and a commercial Unix OS with unlimited client licenses, plus a foolproof management GUI. The 2.26GHz eight-core model outguns and out-greens the original 3GHz, eight-core Harpertown Xserve if you fill it with RAM.
