Mac OS X Server
 

Mac OS X Server is built on a fully compliant UNIX foundation. This battle-tested core provides the stability, performance, and security that organisations require.

While full UNIX conformance ensures compatibility with existing server and application software. Mac OS X Server is the ideal platform for deploying groundbreaking enterprise applications and services.

What is Mac mini with
Snow Leopard Server?
Exactly what you’d expect — a Mac mini specifically designed to be a server with Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server preinstalled. Instead of a SuperDrive, there are two 500GB hard drives that give you all the power and storage you need to help your group work more efficiently than ever.
  What can it do for you?
Mac mini with Snow Leopard Server is designed to help you communicate, collaborate, and share information. It’s perfect for any small business or group — retail shops, doctor and law offices, classrooms, design studios — you name it. Now you can have your own server that supports email on Mac computers, PCs, and iPhone. Sync and share calendars and contact information. Access and swap files securely, and at lightning speed, between Mac computers and PCs. Easily create full-featured wikis and high-quality podcasts. And automatically back up all your important data.

Xsan
 
Xsan takes advantage of the 64-bit file system in Mac OS X Leopard Server so users can share files and volumes up to two petabytes (2PB) in size.

It enables dozens of systems on the SAN to read and write to shared storage simultaneously, unlike other solutions which gate access at the volume level. Over and above that, using a SAN lets you pool data across multiple RAID devices for better performance, while each client uses this centralised data as if connected directly to it.

Xsan storage networking eliminates the bottlenecks of Ethernet-based network file servers, whose performance will only get worse over time as denser formats such as HD become more common. In theory an Xsan client can achieve a throughput of 400MBps when dual fibre channel cabled to the SAN, perfect for multiple editors working on a video project or a compute cluster that needs fast access to data to ensure each node crunches at full capacity.
