This last week I attended the Snow Leopard Server Tour event in Seattle and I was pleasantly surprised to find that there was much more then improved performance and new apps.
Among Apple’s new updates the server version includes the same 64-bit support, with a pile of new features. The coolest one I found was the Podcast Producer 2 - this new feature includes Podcast Composer. It allows you to create workflows for automating completion and publishing for podcasts, with additional ease to do the job in just a few minutes.
The Client Management, another new features includes an iPhone configuration utility for easy access to creating secure services, and administrators harbor NetRestore to rebuild via networks, through custom or standard measures.
iCal Server 2, includes push notification, wireless calendar/iPhone connection, web-based calendaring, and an updated CalDAV, allowing to connect through email.
Wiki Server 2, has iPhone support Mail Server which now much faster, it also provides push email, vacation messages and improvements to mail server clustering.
The Mobile Access Server, has a new feature which allows users to get secure, encrypted access to the server and network, nearly hassle-free.
And finally Web Server has been updated for live video streaming. They announced a new configuration of Mac mini designed specifically to be a server. The new $999 Mac mini with Snow Leopard Server is a fantastic product for workgroups, small businesses, and even schools to use. It's nice that Apple has finally realized that it had a great server under its nose this whole time?
