October 27, 200718 yr I currently host 15 Filemaker 9 Dbs on a dedicated iMac (new). Would I benefit from speed or anything else if I bought a Mac Server X machine runing Leopard Server software? Not sure if this gets me any more speed with Filemaker?
October 27, 200718 yr FileMaker Server does not run on Leopard OS. That said, you will get better performance and better monitoring with server hardware and server OS. If you can still acquire OS X Server (10.4.10) and a Macintosh machine where you can replace the factory supplied SATA drives with SCSI or Serial Attached SCSI drives, you will begin to have the framework for server class machines and OS. Please see the Server Tech Brief from the FMI web site for more and more detailed information. Steven
November 19, 200718 yr In specing a new X-Serve, the Serial Attached SCSI drives seem less expensive than going SCSI. Are there any negatives or comprises in performance?
