Customers, press, and partners have expressed concern over Apple’s decision to end of life Xserve. There has been much speculation over what this announcement means for the future of Mac OS, of XSAN and of the Apple data stored in StorNext. After this decision, Quantum has announced that they will continue to support Apple XSAN and StorNext in the market place as there was no indication of any changes in XSAN or Mac OS.
