We are part way through our migration from Windows Servers to OS X Servers. So far we have migrated a number of smaller workloads to Mac Mini 2014's (1.4Ghz with 8GB RAM and some 2.6Ghz with 8GB RAM) and all is going well.
Now we are at the point of migrating some larger workloads like our Web Based CRM system; (*AMP stack based). My question is which upgrade (or both) will give us best performance boost for the cost on a Mac Mini 2014 2.6Ghz - Upgrade to PCIe Storage, Upgrade to 1TB Fusion Drive (& split the Flash/HDD), or Upgrade to 16GB RAM?
Also, we have some Linux VM's which we will be running in Parallels Business with Headless Auto-Start. Which of the above upgrades will give us best performance boost for the cost on the same model (Mac Mini 2014 2.6Ghz).
Any comments on which upgrade people advise from experience would be most welcomed. Just getting some feedback from the MR community before placing the orders.
