Whether you’re supporting a creative team, a distributed sales force, a class of multimedia students, or just about any small business or workgroup, you know your users need to share information to work effectively. Mac OS X Server makes it easy to share folders and exchange files between Mac and PC systems without the installation of additional software.

Why a server?

Productivity is greatly enhanced when users store work in centralized folders rather than on individual computers. With centralized file storage, all users have access to the same up-to-the-minute file. Since a single version resides on the server, there won’t be any confusion about multiple versions of the same document. And users won’t need to worry about losing important data in the event of a system failure or a lost or stolen laptop. The file is always safe on the server.

Sharing made easy.

It’s easy to share hard drives or individual folders and assign custom access permissions with Mac OS X Server. To facilitate collaboration, each group gets its own shared folder on the server. Whether they’re on Mac or PC systems, all group members can read and write to files in the shared folder, just as if they were using their own hard drive.
