Most remarkable is the use as a file management system-the Mac mini serves as a central repository and source of truth for show files. Having a GUI with VNC meant flexibility and simplicity of management. The simplicity of the macOS interface and automation capabilities made the setup of processes faster and more familiar to the all-Mac team. Up until recently, they used the mini to host live-streamed audio with Icecast. Because it is a dedicated machine with so much power, the mini has been used for multiple purposes at Relay FM.
