Apple Releases Cluster Node Xserve

Posted by pudge on from the for-the-basement dept.

JHromadka writes "Apple today released a cluster node version of its Xserve rackmount server. The Cluster Node is a dual 1.33GHz G4 that has 256 MB RAM, no optical drive, Gigabit Ethernet only on the logic board, no graphics card, and only 10 client licenses. Starting price is $2799, which is a grand less than the normal Xserve."

    No, "1 client license" is what you'd see on a WinXP box. Or more likely hidden in paragraph 23 on page 18 of the EULA.

    Imagine a single one of these, removed from the cluster.
