With a quad-core processor and ultrafast Thunderbolt technology, Mac mini with Lion Server is incredibly powerful. But it’s just as easy to set up and run. And just NZ$1,579 inc GST.
There’s a whole server in there.
Now serving up quad-core power.
Mac mini with Lion Server features a 2.0GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor that delivers incredible speed and performance, thanks to innovations like Turbo Boost 2.0, Hyper-Threading and an integrated memory controller. Add in 6MB of L3 cache, and you’ll find that Mac mini with Lion Server is packed with power.
It also has two 500GB 7200-rpm hard drives built in1, so you can host wikis and websites, back up the data you need and store just about anything. For the ultimate in performance, choose dual 256GB solid-state drives. This configuration performs up to 60 per cent faster in file server tests than a quad-core Xserve with internal SAS drives.2
High-speed Thunderbolt I/O.
Now the speed of your server isn’t limited by the speed of your connection. Thunderbolt technology lets you daisy-chain a display and up to six devices, including high-performance storage solutions such as the Promise Pegasus, via one compact port. And you’ll see data transfer rates up to 12x faster than with FireWire 800.

Thanks to OS X Lion, it’s never been easier to install, set up and manage a server. The set of applications in OS X Lion Server turns just about any Mac into a powerful server that’s perfect for home offices, businesses, schools and more.
