Mac server in PC+Mac dual platform

csstudios · 06-22-2009, 04:19 PM

We are a design office. 7 PCs and 1 Mac. It's time to upgrade our server and considering a Mac server. From my past experience with Mac and PC file translation & communication ISSUES(!!), I'm hesistant to go to that route. But on the other hand, Mac server does offer lots of packages and possiblities. Does anyone know of similiar dual platform environment? Any word of advise or warning you can share will be greatly appreciated.

I doubt I'd pick a Mac server for a mostly PC environment, but maybe that's just me. Have you considered one of the many fine Linux server packages if you don't want to go with Windows server?
