Mac Mini Vault has converted an Apple TV 2 into a web server to see how well it will perform. One of the fun projects going on at Mac Mini Vault is our Apple TV webserver. As much as we ‘d love to see how many Apple TV’s we could mount into a data center cabinet, it will never be a sustainable service to offer.
ServerMan, this is the name of the software( still in experimental phase ), developed by FreeBit, is able to turn an iPhone into a small server that can be used as a shared disk, web server or FTP.

Thanks to the “rack” functionality that is implemented in the software, you can also connect up to 5 iPhones, to be used in raid mode to improve the performance of the device or mirror, to create backups of our files.
This is certainly an ambitious project that also leaves some questions about its actual benefits: First, there are not many people who have more than one iPhone and also the “energy” of the phone (consumption and overheating ) can turn this server oin a small stove .
Obviously, a good computer can do this and much more, but certainly one of the mini-server farm is a fun and very “stylish”.
