I asked an Apple (via a sales rep who visited our company to showcase in internal iPad healthcare app) to please do this for iCloud when iCloud Drive was in-development. We would have easily paid $50,000 for a rack-able Mac Pro you could point "managed" devices at.

Apple simply cannot comprehend the ask.

> Apple simply cannot comprehend the ask.

Apple knows the market demand for this type of device.

You may have paid $50,000 for it, but you’re only one customer. At Apple scale they need to focus their finite resources on the products that serve the largest market demand.

$50,000 rack mount servers are not a large demand.

They had Xserve, it didn't sell well enough to survive.
