Mac OS X Server combines the most popular open source server technologies with Apple's easy-to-use setup, management, and monitoring tools. The result is an open, UNIX-based server platform that's easy--and affordable--to deploy and maintain. It comes with an extensive suite of services for supporting Mac, Windows, and mixed-client environments in businesses, departments, and educational institutions. And because it's all based on open standards, Mac OS X Server integrates easily with your existing network infrastructure.
Mac OS X Server version 10.3 "Panther" delivers over 150 new features, including a revolutionary Server Admin tool that makes it easy for administrators to set up and manage services, Open Directory 2 for hosting scalable LDAP directory and Kerberos authentication services, Samba 3 for providing login and home directory support for Windows clients, and the JBoss application server for running powerful J2EE applications.
