The Ultra-Compact Enterprise: Architecting a Mac Mini Powerhouse for WLAN Engineering | PRG 26

The Mac mini packs immense compute into a tiny footprint, making it an ideal mobile nerve center for network engineers. This session explores how to transform this compact hardware into an elite engineering powerhouse capable of handling heavy enterprise workloads on the go or in the lab.

We will map out how to concurrently run containerized network simulations (Eve-NG/GNS3), localized NMS platforms, high-volume syslog collectors, and live packet analysis tools. Learn optimization strategies for virtualization and unusual workflows, proving you don't need a server rack for a massive testbed.
