Apple devoted two hours on Monday to run through features in OS X Lion, iOS 5 and iCloud, but didn’t mention a word about OS X Server. If you think that means Apple is getting out of the server operating system business, think again.os x lion server will be available along side OS X Lion in July as a download at the Mac App Store.
Apple’s server OS will undercut competing server products at US$49.99, and the company isn’t skimping on features.The server version of OS X Lion includes an updated version of the Xsan file system (previously a $999 purchase), a new Profile Manager that makes it easier for server administrators to manage users and groups, Web-based remote management tools, support for sending push notifications to client devices, WebDAV file sharing for iPad users, improved Mail and iCal servers, and more.OS X Lion without server features costs $29.99, which is about $100 less than the company charged for Mac OS X 10.5 and earlier. Like OS X Lion, Mac OS X 10.6 cost $29.
Apple currently offers Mac Pro and Mac mini configurations with Mac OS X 10.6 Server pre-installed. Presumably the company will offer similar configurations with OS X Lion Server, too.Now you can quickly and easily turn just about any Mac into a powerful server that’s perfect for home offices, businesses, schools, and hobbyists alike. Lion Server is coming to the Mac App Store in July for $49.99.The Server app is your go-to place for practically everything related to your server. It includes a setup assistant that guides you through the process of configuring your Mac as a server. You get local and remote administration of features and services such as users and groups, file sharing, calendaring, email, contacts, chat, Time Machine, VPN, web, and wiki services. Want to know how your server is performing? The Server app can tell you. It displays graphs for monitoring access and server performance and gives you an overview of your hardware configuration and storage use. The Server app even lets you configure your server to send you email alerts if problems arise or if new software updates become available.Profile Manager offers you simple yet powerful ways to set up and remotely manage computers running Lion and iOS devices such as iPad and iPhone. It also simplifies the creation of user accounts for mail, calendar, contacts, and chat; enforcement of restrictions; PIN and password policies; configuration of system settings; and more. Because it’s integrated with the Apple Push Notification service, Profile Manager can send out updated configurations over the air automatically. And it includes web-based administration, so you can manage your server from any modern web browser. Profile Manager even gives users access to a self-service web portal where they can download and install new configuration profiles, as well as clear passcodes and remotely lock or wipe devices that are lost or stolen.Lion Server delivers wireless file sharing for iPad.
When you enable WebDAV in Lion Server, you can access, copy, and share documents on the server from applications such as Keynote, Numbers, and Pages.Lion Server is integrated into the Apple Push Notification service and can immediately notify users when they receive new mail messages, calendar invitations, changes to meetings, or updates to contact information.Wiki Server 3 brings even more ease of use and control to your wikis. Use Wiki Server to create a project-specific website or wiki, then use the new Page Editor to customize it. Your wiki includes a document repository where users can upload, preview, and download files to their computers, making sharing and collaboration a breeze. With the new navigation bar, you can quickly switch to the server’s home page, My Page, Updates, Wikis, People, or Podcasts. People Browser lets you discover and share information outside a wiki. And automatic email notifications let you know when a page has been updated or when new comments have been added.
