We have a roughly half-n-half Mac / PC network.
We have the following equipment scheduled for replacement:
Iomega A300u NAS - reason interface problems and non-existent 3rd party backup solution
Old HP Netserver running Windows NT
I know FileMaker server will run great on the XServe; it's other problems I'm concerned with... Windows Domains - how exactly do they work on the XServe? Windows print serving - the XServe becomes the print server? Backup solution - I'm guessing that's what those nifty FireWire ports on the XServe will accomplish - do I need to buy a FireWire tape drive?
I've read nothing but glowing reviews on the XServe, but of the negative issues, the biggest thing for me is combining all administration functions into one box - if the XServe goes down, the company goes down. How much of an issue is this?
