Thrilled to see our RackSolutions products powering MacStadium’s state-of-the-art data center! 🙌 From HyperShelf thermal management to our exclusive Server Racks, it’s great to see how our solutions support their cutting-edge Apple infrastructure. Excited for the future of Apple cloud hosting!
I have one main question — how do they work around the fact that Apple doesn't support ECC memory on any of the apple silicon macs?
And now Cisco has ended its entire UCS line since Broadcom screwed over VMWARE and DESTROYED IT!!! RIP VMware…
This is so stupid that we are doing this in the age of virtualization.
I don't understand why Apple isn't capitalizing on the data center market. Apple silicon offers unbelievably low power consumption over performance, translating into massive energy savings.
Thank you for sharing.
1:20 Camera knows what he's doing. Give him a raise
0:03 Why would anyone build a datacenter in Las Vegas? Aren't heat and electricity consumption critical factors in data center operations?
This is by far the coolest datacenter video i've seen this year.
I wonder what it will take to revive Xserve.
The density advantage with the new Mac mini would be huge!
beside the pi3 and servo whats the reset of the kvm hardware they are using?
3 to 5ms latency is not very impressive for Pure arrays. They can actually get consistent sub-millisecond latency. Maybe he meant 0.3 to 0.5ms latency?
quite fascinating actually. They bucked the norm and created something amazing.
The new cooling system was completely redesigned on the m4 I wonder how they will figure out cooling on the new model.
Peak power draw of a m4 Mac mini is 25w, pretty crazy.
That is a well thought out solution with lots of details. Very impressive. Also a very knowledgeable manager and great presentation. This video didn't feel 23 minutes long, great pacing!
It's unfortunate that the Mac Pro's software restricts users to only two virtual machines per system… Just imagine the possibilities of a pure Mac Pro cluster!
I have a theory that Apple moved the power button to the bottom to prevent macstadium from using this servo 😂
TBH Mac Servers were a thing 20 years ago.
Seems odd they talk about keeping it simple and then proceed to show something extremely complex.
It’s all very impressive none the less.
I wonder how much they would save on their energy bill, if they would use apple silicon Mac’s. And with m4 they could cut their rack size roughly to 50%.
Waiting for a reaction video of when they find out where the new Mac Mini’s power button is located!
That can’t be true about the size of their network and their “largest” claim. They have 4 spines, that’s very basic.
I’ve worked at hyperscalers with 32 super spine switches, in a 7 stage CLOS network. The individual pods had 4 spines, and there were a dozen pods per datacenter. All links were 100G, even down to the servers and were starting to deploy 400G links
Their new solution is hilariously janky
I think this datacenter is efficiency and less maintenance
These will all be running JetKVM by the end of next year. I feel good about that.
They need minisforum to develop a dock. That’s literally all they need to clean up that interface and wiring! Good stuff!😊
So the new minis will require new design since button moved 😢
Excellent video been following them so long good to see their facility
"Where do you work?" "Datacenter, but it's complicated."
This guy is probably losing his mind over the new m4 Mac minis!!!
I cant understand the point to this when you can just have these at your own home or office for a lot less money
It's a very interesting setup. I'm kind of surprised in the diversity of hardware they're running though.
As impressive the effort of these DC guys is – it is at least as impressive how much resources are spent because Apple does not allow full virtualization of MacOS detached from hardware …
I leased a mini for years from them when I was done they mailed my machine to me. Great service it was the cheapest way to get a unix server with 16gb of ram in the cloud at the time.
Killer!
What a video you guys are doing great.
