Use Cases
Do you need Macs in the cloud? Do you want the world's best scalability, support, uptime, and security?
You’re in the right place!
Remote Mac Desktop
There are thousands of ways to use a Mac, and sometimes you don’t want that Mac on your desk.
Whether you're an individual who is running Windows but needs to use a macOS application, a company who needs to provide access to Mac hardware for employee training or demos, or a university struggling to find new ways to train students on Mac app development, Bird™ can provide the genuine Mac hardware you need in an easy-to-access, secure, cloud environment.
Mac Server Hosting
If you need a cloud-hosted server that can run Mac-only software, Bird™ provides genuine Apple machines with macOS. Or even if you don’t require macOS, but still prefer to run your server on Mac hardware,
Bird’s cloud-hosted servers are the perfect solution. Run a database server using FileMaker, host your company's website, setup a backup server in the cloud, or create a remove media server with Plex -- the possibilities are endless.
You are being overcharged for your cloud computing.
We are fixing that.
The average CPU use across our entire infrastructure helps tell the story. Our servers are unloaded, so why shouldn't we charge our users based on what they're actually using?
Other cloud hosting providers charge you for power you might never use. With us, you keep costs down and have access to our stable, unloaded infrastructure with plenty of temporary burst power at the ready when your website or app gets traction.
Get a mac mini as your hosting infrastructure and stop overpaying.
That's the foundation of honest-value cloud computing.
