I'm amazed Apple don't have a rack mount version of their M series chips yet.

Even for their own internal use in their data centers they'd have to save an absolute boat load on power and cooling given their performance per watt compared to legacy stuff.

That's designed for the broadcast market, where they rack mount everything in the studio environment. It's not really a server, it has no out of band management, redundant power etc.

There are third party rack mounts available for the Mac Mini and Mac Studio also.

Rack mount models have LOM over MDM.
