Welcome to OakHost, where we are constantly looking for creative and innovative ways to
revolutionize the Mac and ARM hosting market. In 2019, when rumors started to circulate
about Apple's architecture shift to Apple silicon, we knew something big was coming.
We believe that the x86 architecture has peaked, and with the announcement of the Apple
M1 chip and projects from alternative providers such as AWS and Google, it was clear
that ARM was the future of the server market. We saw a gap in the market for reliable ARM
servers in the hosting space and made it our mission to fill that void.
After months of planning, conceptualizing, proof of concepts, and evaluations, we
decided to take a risk and offer Apple Mac minis in the professional server environment.
We recognized that using Mac minis as servers presented unique challenges, particularly
in terms of remote management, which had not been solved before. We knew it was essential
for our customers to have fast and reliable access to their Macs via a KVM
(Keyboard, Video, Mouse) interface in case of a problem, even when the internal VNC
server isn't working or the Mac is in recovery or boot mode.
At OakHost, we are dedicated to providing our customers with the best possible service
and products, and we believe that offering Apple Mac minis in the professional server
environment is a step in that direction. We are excited to see how this new technology
will help our customers grow their businesses and achieve their goals.
