Conspicuously missing from their Server Storage pages on the Apple website, is the Xserve RAID product line. Interestingly, if you go to http://www.apple.com/xserve/raid/, it redirects you to the Promise VTrack storage product page.Looks like they’re pushing the Promise VTrak product to run their Xsan software on.I guess this is no surprise … Apple’s server technologies have always seemed to be an afterthought, probably to garner support from business IT departments for their product line. OSX Server is definitely been a notch lower in quality of usability from their desktop and portable product lines.I’m glad i dont have an Xserve RAID.
