Not yet, and I'm very curious about this too. (It's not that I /don't/ want
to use Apple hardware, but I have to do due diligence.)
I've found firms that offer load testing services, but I haven't found any
tools that I can use myself.

Charles,
Have you done any actual comparison testing on the hardware end? If so,
I'd be curious to know the relative performance of a dual 2.3ghz XServe
w/QTSS for streaming when compared to a recent vintage dual processor
Xeon/Opteron blade server running Linux + DSS. I am in much the same boat
as you are. The Xserves are tempting because of the "it just works out
of the box" aspect, the relative ease of maintenance with applecare.
However, recent articles I've seen haven't been very encouraging with
OSX's scalability on heavily loaded servers. Also, 1RU dual Xeon/Opteron
hardware solutions are so much cheaper in comparison. Times umpteen
servers, it really starts to add up.
That brings up another question. What are folks using in a test environment
to stress test QTSS/DSS?
Best regards,
