The problem is believed to stem specifically from Apple File Protocol, as used by Mac OS X Leopard Server; whereas Leopard typically consumes only a portion of the CPU power on an Xserve, some administrators have noticed quad- and eight-core Xserves becoming non-f... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/01/13/afp.server.problems/ Tue, 13 Jan 2009 21:05:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/09/18/vmware.ships.fusion.20/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0809/16-fusion-sm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />VMware has officially released Fusion 2.0, the latest version of its Mac virtualization software. The software adds a host of new features, such as multiple and/or automatic "snapshots" of virtual machines, which let users regress to earlier states as needed. Others include automatic detection and use of multiple displays, and the ability to open Mac files and URLs in a virtual machine, or vice ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/09/18/vmware.ships.fusion.20/ Thu, 18 Sep 2008 17:55:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/08/26/apple.enterprise.share/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0808/corporate.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Apple has managed to almost quadruple its share of the corporate OS market within a short space of time, says Ben Gray of Forrester Research. The analyst notes that while in January 2007, just 1.2 percent of operating systems recorded in an online client survey were Mac OS X, current figures suggest an adoption rate of 4.5 percent. The figure is more remarkable, says Gray, because Apple does not... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/08/26/apple.enterprise.share/ Tue, 26 Aug 2008 20:30:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/07/30/vmware.fusion.20b2.posted/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0805/09-fusion-sm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />VMWare on Wednesday released VMware Fusion 2.0 Beta 2, a new free public beta of its software for running Windows (and other operating systems) within Mac OS X. The update brings better utilities and performance, support for multiple screenshots, better gaming, full 1080p HD video acceleration at near-native speeds (with less CPU utilization), and support for Mac OS X Leopard Server. Adding more W... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/07/30/vmware.fusion.20b2.posted/ Thu, 31 Jul 2008 01:20:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/06/20/psystar.openservs/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0806/openserv.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Psystar, known mainly for its controversial Mac clone, says it has begun shipping two new servers, both of which have the option of pre-installing Mac OS X Leopard Server. Apple's licensing terms require Leopard to be installed on official hardware; Psystar's OpenServs, however, are unsanctioned and also compatible with server software such as Window Server and Ubuntu.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/06/20/psystar.openservs/ Fri, 20 Jun 2008 18:45:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/06/18/xserve.virtual.servers/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0806/xservervirt.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Following only a day after the release of Parallels Server for Mac, Media Temple has begun a private beta of (xv) (Xserve-Virtual), a new hosting service. The company takes Parallels Server, and combines it with Apple's Xserve hardware to run virtualized copies of Mac OS X Leopard Server. The primary advantage of this is said to be lower price overhead than a dedicated Leopard server, while stil... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/06/18/xserve.virtual.servers/ Wed, 18 Jun 2008 20:25:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/06/12/fusion..leopard.server/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0805/09-fusion-sm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />VMware has announced that the next beta version of Fusion 2.0, its Mac virtualization software, will officially introduce support for virtualizing Mac OS X Leopard Server. The company has been working on the project since January, following modifications to Apple licensing which allowed Leopard Server to be run in a virtual machine on a Mac. For end users, this should mainly permit running multi... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/06/12/fusion..leopard.server/ Thu, 12 Jun 2008 19:35:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/05/01/parallels.server.beta.4/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0803/5-parallels-sm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Parallels has released the fourth beta of its Server for Mac software. The program provides hypervisor-based server virtualization, which helps save costs by supporting multiple platforms through the same hardware. Beta 4 is notable for reintroducing Leopard Server virtualization, which had been temporarily removed. The upgraded beta means that Leopard Server can once again be run under a virtu... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/05/01/parallels.server.beta.4/ Thu, 01 May 2008 19:45:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/02/19/apple.releases.xsan.2/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0802/xsan2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Apple has formally launched Xsan 2, a major revision of its storage area network (SAN) file system. Among the changes is a new set of administration tools, easing the burden of setup and management. Users can for instance pre-set volume workloads for various file types, ranging in size from raw HD video down to small pieces of data center information. Accompanying this is MultiSAN, a component... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/02/19/apple.releases.xsan.2/ Tue, 19 Feb 2008 15:05:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/01/15/leopard.server..vmware/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0801/leopardvm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />VMware has announced that as a part of its presentation at the Macworld Expo, it is demonstrating a completely unmodified version of Mac OS X Leopard Server running within a virtual machine. This is due to a change in Apple licensing policy, which recently allowed Mac OS X Server to be installed multiple times on the same computer so long as each copy has its own valid license. VMware further no... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/01/15/leopard.server..vmware/ Tue, 15 Jan 2008 22:00:00 GMT
