David Hanak I ka pule i hala aku nei o Apple hoikeia ʻO Mac mini, he kiʻi mai ka lumi kikowaena (i kapa ʻia ʻo Mac Farm) o ka hui ʻo MacStadium i ʻike ʻia ma ke kahua no kekahi mau kekona. Hoʻokumu ka ʻoihana i ka hāʻawi ʻana i nā ʻōnaehana macOS no kāna mau mea kūʻai aku no kekahi kumu e pono ai i kahi ʻōnaehana hana mai Apple me ka ʻole e kūʻai aku i nā lako e like me ia. I ka manawa like, ua kiʻi ʻo YouTuber i kahi wikiō ma ke keʻena ʻo MacStadium, āna i paʻi ai i kekahi mau lā i hala. No laila hiki iā mākou ke ʻike i ke ʻano o ia mea ma kahi e piha ai nā kaukani Mac ma lalo o hoʻokahi hale.
Hana kūikawā ʻo MacStadium i ka hāʻawi ʻana i nā lawelawe e pili ana i ka platform macOS. Hāʻawi ia i nā mana virtualization macOS, nā mea hana hoʻomohala, a me nā ʻōnaehana kikowaena no ka poʻe e koi ana i kēia mau hoʻonohonoho kikoʻī. No ko lākou pono, loaʻa iā lākou kahi lumi kikowaena nui i hoʻopiha maoli ʻia i ke kaupaku me nā kamepiula Apple.
No ka laʻana, hoʻonoho ʻia kekahi mau tausani Mac minis i loko o nā pahu i hana ʻia. I nā hoʻonohonoho like ʻole a me nā hiʻohiʻona, no nā pono like ʻole o nā mea kūʻai aku. ʻAʻole mamao loa nā iMacs a me iMacs Pro. Ma ka ʻaoʻao pili o ka lumi kikowaena, aia kahi ʻāpana kūikawā i manaʻo ʻia no Mac Pro. Mālama ʻia kēia mau mīkini kiʻekiʻe loa mai ka laula o Apple ma ʻaneʻi ma muli o ka hoʻoluʻu kūikawā e holo ana mai ka papahele a i nā pā a piʻi i ke kaupaku.
ʻO kahi mea hoihoi ʻē aʻe, ʻaneʻane ʻaʻole loaʻa (a i ʻole hoʻohana) nā Mac a pau ma ʻaneʻi i kā lākou waihona i loko. Hoʻopili ʻia nā mīkini a pau i kahi kikowaena data iwi kuamoʻo i loaʻa i nā haneli he mau terabytes o ka waihona PCI-E i hiki ke hoʻonui ʻia e like me nā pono o ka mea kūʻai aku. He mea kupanaha ka wikiō ponoʻī, no ka mea, ʻaʻohe wahi o ka honua i loaʻa kahi ʻano o nā Mac e like me kēia wahi ma Las Vegas.
