> run some continuous integration for OSX software
I can confirm this (I work at MacStadium). We've got 1. a large number of CI SaaS companies that run their OS X/iOS builds on our hardware and 2. at least several hundred companies that run their own custom build tools or Jenkins on individual or clusters of Mac minis, Xserves, and Mac Pros in our data centers.
Hosting company that does Mac only[0] here (I work at MacStadium[1]).
We've got customers of all sizes. It started out with just individual developers and small teams using our solutions so they didn't have to spend capital and IT resources on their own Mac hardware. Many are still here with Mac minis rented or colocated.
Now though, we've got fortune 500 customers, many enterprise tech companies, and a growing number of unicorns joining the service since they can't do internally what we can do at scale in data centers with the Mac Pro. A lot of these customers are using us to test iOS apps with large clusters of dedicated Mac Pros connected to SAN.
[0]: We mostly serve customers that need Mac hardware for app development and CI/CD. We also have HP bladeservers, though, as a few companies have moved their entire infrastructure to our data centers or have migrated from Mac hardware to generic Linux systems and don't want to leave due to certain features we can offer.
Apple's included screen sharing tool is a Mac-specific solution. At MacStadium, we provide iRAAP server on our dedicated Mac servers for customers connecting from Windows computers; it allows for RDP access to the remote Mac.
I'm with MacStadium and we just acquired Macminicolo. Let me know if you have any questions. We've got large enterprise customers, developer shops, and popular SaaS tools like Travis CI using our dedicated rented Mac servers and Mac private cloud platform.
Both of our teams at MacStadium and Macminicolo are looking forward to the new opportunities this offers. That's a fairly vague statement but isn't that what everyone says in these moments?
Thanks for sharing! I'm interested in learning a bit more about your lifestyle at home; I'd love to see the pictures you mentioned about creative use of IKEA.
I'm currently downsizing possessions to a point where my 1100 sq.ft apt is starting to feel too big.
I completely agree. We've got support until December so I'm considering replicating as much of YNAB 4's methodology and functions as possible in either Excel or Google Sheets when I have free time.
