Brian Stucki, on the MacStadium blog:
Here we are in 2017 and we’re bringing back a second life for the Xserve.
Since Macminicolo merged with MacStadium, we now have more space and many more options for Mac mini, Mac Pro, and 1U servers like the Xserve. While Mac Pro is definitely our focus, I feel like I owe the Xserve fans an update.
Our hosted Mac private clouds are powered by VMware and include unlimited use of vSphere Enterprise (ESXi) 6.x. Since this software can handle any number of server nodes to draw from, we use both Mac Pro and Xserve to build the fleet for customers. This helps us find just the right balance of price and power for any situation.
I really loved the Xserve hardware, and managed my fair share of them back when I was a full-time IT guy. I’m glad to see they are still working hard for customers.
