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.
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.
