Announcing support for Apple Mac Studios

With the introduction of the latest and currently fastest Mac hardware called Mac Studio to our portfolio, we now offer the widest range of on-demand Mac devices in the cloud hosting industry. The entry-level model is equipped with M1 Max 10-Core CPU, M1 24‐Core GPU, 16‑Core Neural Engine, 64 GB RAM, and 2 TB SSD, delivering up to 85 percent better price performance over x86-based Mac devices for building and testing iOS and macOS applications. 

MetalControl meets Mac Studio

Simply connecting the new Mac Studios to the Internet and claiming we are ready is not how we do things. In order to offer our customers the same benefits as with the Mac minis, we first had to invest time and energy in developing a special version of our MetalControl hardware with support for the new Mac Studio form factor. MetalControl is an in-house-developed Apple Mac remote management controller, equipped with features such as power-button and power-cord control, Keyboard-Video-Mouse access and more. MetalControl is the technology that makes our Mac cloud service so unique and what gives us maximum flexibility in managing the devices.

Mac as a Service made simple

With the easy-to-use control panel, deploying, managing, and scaling dedicated bare-metal Apple Mac mini and Studio devices in the cloud couldn't be easier. Without compromising on simplicity, it comes standard with advanced networking capabilities such as private networking (VPC), firewall and VPN for secure connections to third-party cloud providers or corporate networks - all at no additional cost. Other benefits such as FileVault support, day-0 support for the latest major and beta versions of macOS and Xcode, pay-as-you-go pricing make the service even more attractive.
