[Macpartners] Apple fileservers

[Myles Crowley, MIT News Office]

The News Office is considering an upgrade path for our AppleShare OSX 
Server running on a G4 450MHz desktop machine. Should we consider an 
entry-level Xserve G5 or would a regular G5 tower operate just as 
well?  We need a basic server for shared volumes and as an archive. 
Speed, storage space and reliability are the requirements. We also 
have a G4 running FileMaker Server and another G4 running Extensis 
Portfolio Server and so there's some inter-activity (some database 
scripts and synched folders) between these machines, the OSX server 
and our users.

Thanks for  your thoughts!

Myles
