Mac OS X Server v10.5 Leopard, the latest release of Apple's UNIX® server operating system, makes it easy for small businesses, workgroups, and enterprises to take full advantage of the benefits of a server. With Mac OS X Server, users can effortlessly share files, schedule meetings and events, exchange instant messages, send and receive mail on the Internet, access the organization's network remotely, publish podcasts, and host websites, wikis, and blogs. Mac OS X Server is available in 10-client and Unlimited-client editions. Client restrictions apply only to simultaneous file-sharing services for Mac and PC clients.
Features
No IT department requires
It's now simpler than ever to set up and configure your server. Using the new Server Preferences application, you can quickly manage users and groups on the server and easily set up your key services and everything from file sharing and calendaring to virtual private networking and backup for network clients with Time Machine.
Now taking appointments
With the first calendar server for Mac OS X Server, it's easy for users to check schedules, arrange meetings, and reserve resources. iCal Server is built on the open standard CalDAV protocol for integration with leading calendaring applications such as iCal in Mac OS X Leopard.
Collaboration for teams
Groups can collaborate on projects through their own wiki-powered intranet site, complete with a group calendar, blog, and mailing list. With just a few clicks, they can create and edit wiki pages, tag and cross-reference material, upload files and images, add comments, and search content.
Start finding
Spotlight Server is the fastest way to search and find content on network servers, perfect for workgroups with shared documents, projects, and archives. Indexing is done automatically on the server, so searches are faster and up-to-the-moment accurate.
Less work, more play
Now users can capture, encode, publish, and distribute podcasts for employee training, lectures, or whatever audio or video podcasts your organization requires. Podcast Producer simplifies production of podcasts for playback in iTunes or on an iPod, iPhone, and Apple TV.
