FileMaker Server

The Database Server for Growing Workgroups

FileMaker Server software, for Windows, Mac OS X, Mac OS and Red Hat® Linux, delivers an outstanding database server for network administrators as well as for users of FileMaker Pro 5, 5.5, 6 and now 7.

This high-performance relational database engine accelerates FileMaker Pro 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, this release of 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.

 

COMPATIBILITY AND FLEXIBILITY

Administrators will appreciate the cross-platform support for TCP/IP which eases deployment for Windows, Mac OS X, and Mac OS 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 so easy to set up and run that nontechnical people will feel comfortable with installation and day-to-day server management.

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 on your LDAP server for easy login from FileMaker Pro and tracking from the IT department.

Now your FileMaker Pro 5, 5.5, 6, and 7 databases can run faster and be accessible to more users with the power of FileMaker Server.
