MacPro
The MacPro is a server that hosts a variety of services like the DaVinci Resolve Server.
Born in 2012 and still a formidable machine. It has been upgraded with a dual hex-core (12-core) Xeon Processors, 1TB NVMe storage, and 96GB RAM.
It can edit 6K video and it can still burn CD-ROMs!
For security, there is no port forwarding to the device; it can only be accessed via SSH or VNC over VPN.

Software Updates
We use OpenCore to keep MacOS up-to-date and extend the life of this now vintage machine.
As a result, WiFi and Bluetooth no longer work as of OS X Catalina.
