Mac OS X Server 10-Client Edition.
Mac OS X Server can be purchased in 10-client and unlimited-client editions to meet the needs of server
deployments of any size. License restrictions apply only to simultaneous file-sharing services for Mac and PC
clients.

2. The easiest way to deploy essential network services, the 10-client edition is designed for small workgroups
and Internet hosting services that do not require simultaneous file sharing among more than 10 Mac and PC
clients.
Mac OS X Server version 10.5 Leopard makes it easy for small businesses, workgroups, and enterprises to take
full advantage of the benefits of a server.
Servers made easy. The world's most advanced technologies make
it simple.

schedule meetings, and coordinate events within a workgroup, a small business, or a large corporation. Built on

calendaring solutions, iCal Server doesn't impose a per-user license, so you don't have to pay for additional
licenses as your business grows.
Wiki Server. Collaboration for teams.
Mac OS X Server makes it easy for groups to collaborate and communicate through their own wiki-powered
intranet website complete with group calendar, blog, and mailing list. Users can create and edit wiki pages, tag
and cross-reference material, upload files and images, add comments, and search content with point-and-click
ease.

users.

the Internet.
Mail Services. Postmaster to the world.
Mail services in Mac OS X Server are based entirely on open standards, providing compatibility with your

there are no per-user licensing fees, you can add mail accounts without draining your software licensing budget.

with Mac OS X Server. With its intuitive administrative interface, you can immediately start up a static website
or deploy even the most sophisticated of sites.

The Directory application provides access to shared information about people, groups, locations, and resources

servers.
64-Bit Computing. Massively powerful.
Apple has designed Mac OS X Server to leverage the computing power of 64-bit Intel and PowerPC processors,
bringing next-generation performance to mainstream server computing. With superaccurate math calculations
and access to massive amounts of memory, Mac OS X Server enables the most demanding scientific and
technical computing applications. In fact, many of the core services in Mac OS X Server v10.5--such as Apache
2, MySQL 5, Postfix, Podcast Producer, QuickTime Streaming Server, and Java VM on Intel--are now 64-bit,
allowing you to take advantage of increased processing power and to work with larger data sets.
Advanced Networking Architecture. Secure performance.
Mac OS X Server is built on open, industry-standard protocols and the latest in network security standards. The
result? Increased performance and security of server deployments. Using the time-tested BSD sockets and
TCP/IP stack, this advanced networking architecture ensures compatibility and integration with IP-based
networks.
Open Directory. Standards-based directory and network authentication.
A key component of any modern computing environment, directory services allow organizations to centralize
information about users, groups, and computing resources. This network-based repository is the foundation for
critical IT services, including managing users and groups, directing workflow solutions, providing employee
directories, and controlling access privileges. By maintaining a central directory, organizations can consolidate
resources, simplify system management, and reduce support and administration costs--while providing strong
authentication and password-protected access to network resources.
File System. From HFS to ZFS.
Mac OS X Server includes file system support designed and optimized for critical server deployments. This
includes support for installation on the Mac OS Extended file system (HFS+) with optional case sensitivity, as
well as data access from UNIX File System (UFS) and Zettabyte File System (ZFS) volumes.

6. Security and Access Controls. Safer by design.
Mac OS X Server is built on an advanced architecture to deliver the features you want with the security you
need. It's designed to protect your server, your network, and your data with a host of features--including
built-in firewall with stateful packet analysis, strong encryption and authentication services, data security
architectures, and support for access control lists (ACLs).
High-Availability Services. The show must go on.
The only thing more important than having advanced computing services is having them available. Built into
Mac OS X Server are powerful high-availability features that reduce the risk of unplanned shutdowns and
maximize server uptime--so a company can confidently maintain levels of service, comply with industry
regulations, and provide organizational access to business-critical information.
Xgrid. The simple solution for distributed computing.
Apple's Xgrid technology makes it easy to turn an ad hoc group of Mac systems into a low-cost supercomputer.
Leveraging the power of Mac OS X Server, Xgrid is an ideal distributed computing platform for individual
researchers, specialized collaborators, and application developers. Read more
