  According to Maccentral’s coverage of WWDC, Apple will be unveiling a rackmounted server on May 14th. This is not a rumor it came straight from Steve Jobs mouth!!!!!!

  Oooh, cool. Any other information or specs on it? Like is it 1U, 2U, or just a Quicksilver with built in rails?

  So Apple now has an education Mac, and an uhm, RackMac. It’s A Good Thing.

  [edit: nevermind. I found the page. ]

  Good thing indeed, and further proof that Apple is serious about the business market.

  Rackmount

  Well I think 1 RU might be abit of a stretch (if they were bringing out a few models it would be good, but 1 RU on it’s own probably isn’t worth it).

  2 RU actually wouldn’t fit many drive bays and so forth either (unless apple also releases an storage array that they can connect to with Firewire 2 which would be nice

  Hopefully it won’t be bigger than 3 RU (hopefully they’ll have plenty of drive bays if it’s 3 RU).

  Can’t wait ! Hopefully it’s a proper server (dual redundant power supplies, fans, etc).
