When I worked as a contractor at Apple Retail Software Engineering, they bought for themselves the full final couple of shipments of thousands and thousands of the rack-mount Macs they had designed and built, and then ultimately killed. They filled a couple of data centers with them. And then they ran VMware on them so that they could have a lot more virtual Macs as servers.
They were also buying rack mount hardware from other vendors and running VMware on them, too. But I don’t remember what the vendors were that they were buying from. I doubt it would be Dell, given what Michael Dell said about Apple years ago, and the rivalry that has existed ever since. But I don’t know for sure.
