All you have to do is give up the GUI, for some. There are web, groupware, domain, file and authentication services for the mac, at a much reduced price. Remember, its unix, and all or at least most, of the open source stuff out there is available for the mac. However, you don’t even really have to buy the server software to make the G5 a server. If you bought a standard G5 for the $2000 range, and added the accessories I believe you would have everything you’d get in a standard pc server. If you a doing simple file sharing, buy a cheaper server. I believe you were comparing the Xserve to a “tower” pc server, were you not. The Xserve is a 64bit datapath 1u enterprise level server, not a onesy, twosey server installation. You aren’t comparing same class machines. Unfortunately, its comparisons like the one between the pc and xserve that continue this misconception. This is what you get from apple for $4697…go to apple store and config for yourself:ĪppleCare Premium Service and Support for Xserve (3 years) $950.00 i can buy a lot of software or licenses for that price difference.Īnd os x server cant hold a candle to windows small biz server either. the mac xserve very quickly becomes at least a $5000 server to be well outfitted and still doesnt have the dual cpus either. Windows server does not have monitor either but does have this over the mac:ģ00% more storage capacity or the option to do raid 1 and still have 50% more storage and security if the raid backupĪ fax modem for fax services that are included in small biz server 2003Ī substantially more feature rich server osĪdd all that to the mac and you get to $4700 and the dvd burner and fax modem and tape drive arent even options…add several hundred more dollars for that.

Xserve with apple os x server is: $3000 base with no monitor There are no client access licenses required with Panther Server, and it’s cheaper than Windows Server 2003 as well.” “It’s also good for any office that wants to save money versus purchasing Windows Server 2003.
