The growth of digital content creation and distribution in business
and education is driving the need for high-capacity data storage.
Digital video footage, large databases, media-rich student documents,
high-resolution digital images, immense scientific data sets,
and uncompressed audio all place enormous demands on server storage
resources. Xserve addresses this growing need by providing flexible
and affordable storage solutions.
Industry-leading configuration and management tools make the system
easy to deploy and all-new monitoring capabilities make it possible

Mac
OS X Server v10.2
Mac OS X Server is a UNIX-based
operating system designed for superior performance and reliability.
This robust foundation provides everything you'd expect of a UNIX-based
operating system like preemptive multitasking, symmetric multiprocessing,
as well as support for networking and security standards like
IPv6, IPSec, SSL and SSH2. Mac OS X Server features a server-optimized
implementation of Java 2, and the latest in web services and security
standards. Plus advanced remote management tools that allow you
to securely manage and monitor your services from anywhere on
your network, or over the Internet.
A suite of standards-based Internet services is built into Mac
OS X Server. An optimized Apache web server provides high-performance
hosting of secure dynamic websites. QuickTime Streaming Server
and QuickTime Broadcaster enable you to stream live events over
the Internet-for instant delivery to audiences anywhere. Mac OS
X Server also comes with a flexible mail server that supports
POP and secure IMAP, as well as Webmail for browser-based email
access. Best of all, you can set up these services quickly and
easily using the intuitive management tools in Mac OS X Server.
It doesn't matter whether
you have Mac, Windows, UNIX or Linux clients - or a combination
thereof - on your network. Mac OS X Server provides cross-platform
support for native file sharing, as well as Apache web server
and WebDAV server, POP and IMAP mail, ftp, QuickTime Streaming
Server, DNS and DHCP - right out-of-the-box. Windows, UNIX and
Linux are not treated any differently, and will enjoy benefits
that Mac users take for granted.
