Hello,
Up to now I've been developing and deploying on the same machine.
I think it may be time though to have a dedicated deployment server
and was wondering, should I use my current development machine as a
server (2.5 Quad) and buy a new intel mac pro, or should I get an
xserve and keep using my current machine to develop? My application
is fairly computationally intensive, and also needs to be able to
handle some peak stress periods, so I need something pretty powerful
for the server in order to cover my future needs, but it sounds like
the new mac Pro's would make GREAT development machines although my
current machine is certainly no laggard.
So, my choices are, keep developing on my current machine (which is
pretty darn fast itself) and buy a more expensive xserve to better
serve my future deployment needs OR buy a Mac Pro and use my current
machine as my server? Of course I could also use the Mac Pro as my
server during peak periods if I need more power. Is a new intel
server that much faster than my current machine (and the current Mac
Pro's) to justify spending more now for an Xserve? Is the Xserve
hard to setup?
Or should I possibly get an older Xserve G5 to tide me over for now?
Any and all opinions are welcome as I don't know too much about Xserve's
Thanks,
jeff
