hobbesmaster posted:so what does Apple host their internal directory servers and stuff on? years ago they were a sun shop. i assume they are probably still running on the sun directory server, because it would be hard to migrate off of it -- nothing else supports that kind of query load / account number sun ds and redhat ds are both forks of the old time netscape ds i assume by now they have migrated their directory server to run on linux, even if they are still using sun/rh/netscape ds

The Management posted:they tried that with xserves. nobody bought them. but more importantly, there’s nobody working on optimizing macOS for server workloads and that’s why [long list of internal systems] are terrible. i don’t want a goddamned million-core beast server like it’s 1998, and i don’t care about optimizing for response latency. i want an easily-maintainable server farm full of cheap buildslaves that can be legally licensed to run macos

this is exactly why that group has its head up its rear end, we have literally millions of developers who want to buy big beefy laptops and high-specced desktops and a ton of interchangeable machines to feed the insatiable needs of their distributed build/ci systems, and meanwhile they’re making low-spec dual-gpu toys for media professionals who were never that big of a market and mostly left the platform years ago and who care deeply about peripherals that they can’t hook up to their macs anymore

for the last like 2 or 3 years the main reason to pay for macOS server was to enable the Caching Server so that when there was an iOS release all the apple devices on your network would be transparently redirected to your local server instead of melting your WAN connection. They rolled it into the stock install of High Sierra and made improvements so it's a lot easier to define parent/child caching server arrangements. The announcement that they're deprecating the stuff that implies that they're probably going to improve the existing MDM service to the point where small-ish shops no longer need to shell out for JAMF just so they can push out email server settings and force employees to enable the passcode on their phones (honestly probably the right move since I'd rather the QA team focus all their resources on that than have 1 guy be responsible part-time for maintaining the VPN service that nobody uses)

I think they figured it out now, but we shall see.

you need higher specs than your normal offerings which for apple is pretty easy. they sell a minor upgrade to 5 year old hardware as a prosumer machine for big profits.

I mean for testing. For your office crowd it makes sense to by macbooks instead since you can take them to meetings and use them for ... facebook and shitposting.
