Apple doesn't make enterprise grade servers. Even their own data centers are filled with racks of somebody else's hardware.

Exactly but they did in the mid 2000's, but discontinued the line because of dismal sales. You would think they would allow enterprise customers to run OS X Server as a Virtual Machine on enterprise server hardware, but that is forbidden.

They've had some success filling a niche (mobile devices) and breathlessly portray that niche as being the whole ball of wax. For them "enterprise" is a marketing buzzword, not an infrastructure.
