A 1st Class Server For Business - MacOSX Leopard
We don’t keep it secret and most of our customers know that Intercell Solutions have been using Apple MacOSX computers from our inception - we are proud to be different and after all they-just-work! In the last year we have been checking out the new Apple MacOSX Leopard Server. We have been testing it in heterogeneous networks to test its ability to mix with Windows, UNIX and MacOSX environments. As ever Apple have pulled it out of the bag making everything work perfectly and seamlessly, setup is relatively straight forward for an IT specialist, ongoing administration is simple, the graphical user interface (GUI) is a dream to work with.

One of the big things our customers look for in a server is for their Windows desktops to access files, folders and printers in a simple way. Leopard Server has full domain control built in, which means hot desking and server controlled login works out of the box.
One of the most exciting features of the server is the new TimeMachine feature. Only once in my life of IT have I got excited about a piece of backup software and that is with TimeMachine - TimeMachine takes backup to the next level. Snapshots of the system happen every 60 minutes automatically in the background whilst the system is still fully functional. With TimeMachine you have complete piece of mind.
When it comes to restoring information from the backup it is a breeze. You click the TimeMachine icon in the dock on your server and you are presented with an outer-space like window, a time-line on the right, and arrows to help you perform your search for files - literally anyone can restore files and folders from a backup!
