FileMaker Server, for Windows, Mac OS, Mac OS X, and Red Hat Linux, delivers a database server that's reliable and easy to use for both network administrators and client users. This high-performance relational database engine accelerates FileMaker Pro 5.x operations over a network both by increasing the speed of database operations and by allowing up to 250 simultaneous guests per server, while hosting up to 125 database files. These capabilities make it an excellent choice for departments and workgroups in any size business.For administrators, FileMaker Server delivers the ability to automatically update and deploy plug-ins to clients across the network. One update of a plug-in on the server updates all users of a FileMaker solution. Administrators will also appreciate the cross-platform support for TCP/IP, which eases deployment for Windows, Mac OS, and Mac OS X workgroup guests. This flexibility and compatibility mean that FileMaker Server can fit into corporate environments seamlessly.
And while FileMaker Server software contains powerful tools for IS professionals, it's easy to set up and run for non-technical people. The critical task of backing up FileMaker Pro databases on a regular basis can be automated and scheduled to be performed even while guests are connected. Register FileMaker Server 5.5 on your LDAP server for easy login from FileMaker Pro 5.x and tracking from the IT department.
