Technology Overview
Xserve
Built-in lights-out management. As long as the electrical power cord and Ethernet
cable are plugged in, built-in remote management capabilities allow control of an
Xserve system from anywhere on the network—even if the system isn’t turned on.
Easy-to-use Server Monitor software provides remote monitoring and control of
Xserve with an easy-to-use graphical interface.
Powerful UNIX-based operating system. Included with Xserve at no additional
cost is an unlimited-client license for Mac OS X Server. This native version—built on
open standards and optimized to take advantage of the computing power of the
64-bit Dual-Core Intel Xeon—comes complete with easy-to-use workgroup and
Internet services. It integrates seamlessly into enterprise infrastructures and never
requires additional “client access license” (CAL) fees.
Server-class support products. To minimize downtime, Apple offers a suite of
enterprise-class support products, including onsite hardware repairs, advanced
software support, and convenient spares kits.
Advanced 1U Rack-Optimized Server Design
With enormous processing power and ample storage in a compact 1U-high,
19-inch-wide enclosure, Xserve is designed from the ground up for performance,
serviceability, and easy integration into a wide range of computing environments.
The necessary rackmounting hardware is in the box, including rack rails with
sliders, mounting brackets for industry-standard four-post racks and cabinets,
and complete setup instructions.
100 percent native
Mac OS X Server v10.4.8 runs 100 percent
natively on Intel-based Mac systems. This
means all services run at top speed and all
Mac OS X Server features take immediate
advantage of the two Dual-Core Intel Xeon
processors in Xserve.
