This is often a wonderful little Apple Mac mini MC408LL/A Snow Leopard Server machine. I am replacing a cluster of old G4 and G5 XServes that had been applied as web-application servers with these small guys and I'm extremely happy with these. Even though OS X server is included, I typically replace it with OS X Client for servers dedicated to Apache-WebObjects-MySQL application hosting since I find remote command line administration of OS X Client is far more familiar and convenient to me. Nevertheless if applying some of the quite a few other server services, I will leave OS X Server operating system on there.
Prior to Mac Mini Server arrived on the scene, many had been applying typical Mac Minis as servers for modest sites and modest business. Now Apple has endorsed the use with the Mac Mini as an economical server by selling it in this good sub-$1000 package with two 500GB drives. The additional drive is far much more helpful than the built-in DVD drive in a server usage scenario. You are able to use software mirroring, or basically use Carbon Copy Cloner to perform automatic nightly backups towards the second drive.
And this small machine consumes a fraction with the power of an XServe and supplies near silent operation when compared to a noisy whining G5 XServe. Read More About Apple Mac mini MC408LL/A Snow Leopard Server Review.
