Question about Mac OS X Server 10.5.8

Hi. I currently have a xServe 2.1 (Early 2008) with Leopard Server OS (10.5.8). I was wondering what is the feasibility of upgrading it to Mac OS X Mountain Lion or would you reocmmend upgrading to another OS?

I read somewhere that the model of xServe is one year older than what Mountain Lion can support but I wanted to confirm and to see which version of OS can I possibly upgrade to with my current setup.


Thank you!

Xserve, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

No, you can't upgrade to ML, however you could upgrade to Snow Leopard Server (really the last good enterprise version of OS X Server, the new versions are good but only for SOHO use) or Lion (purchasable by calling Apple). Remember, Lion and Lion Server are 2 seperate components and both must be purchased by calling Apple as they are no longer available on the App Store.
