Mac Mini Server - £799 worth of goodness

server_hero_20091020

I've long been a fan of Mac OS Server, the functionality it provides easily matches Windows Server and Exchange Server rolled into one and easily supports both Macs and PCs.

Apple's announcement today of the Mac Mini Server, a 1 terrabyte server complete with an unlimited client license of Mac OS Leopard Server for £799 provides a very cost efficient way for small organisations to deploy a server supporting both PC and Mac clients with a Web server, mail server, calendar services, directory and much more.

One obvious thing they didn't do was include two Ethernet ports, preventing the new Mac Mini Server being used as a firewall, which is a shame.
