<p>Apple Announces Mac OS X Server Leopard</p>
<p>CUPERTINO, California--October 16, 2007--Apple today announced that Mac OS<br />
X Server version 10.5 Leopard will go on sale on Friday, October 26, at the<br />
same time as Mac OS X Leopard. Leopard Server extends Apple's legendary<br />
ease of use, making it even easier to take advantage of the benefits of a<br />
server, and introduces Podcast Producer, the ideal way to automatically<br />
publish podcasts to iTunes or the web. Leopard Server packs more than 250<br />
new features including Wiki Server, allowing people to collaboratively<br />
create and modify their shared web sites with just a few clicks; and iCal<br />
Server, the world's first commercial CalDAV standard-based calendar server.</p>
<p>"Leopard Server is the best release of Mac OS X Server yet, bringing more<br />
great innovations, like Podcast Producer, Wiki Server and iCal Server,"<br />
said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Product<br />
Marketing. "With new setup features that have a server up and running<br />
within minutes and no client access licenses, Leopard Server is the ideal<br />
alternative to complicated and expensive server offerings for small and<br />
large businesses."</p>
<p>Leopard Server presents new features for effortless setup, management and<br />
monitoring of systems on the network. Server Assistant configures server<br />
applications, network settings such as IP addresses and DNS configurations<br />
and user accounts with just a few clicks. Server Preferences simplifies<br />
management of users, groups and key server applications, and a Server<br />
Status Dashboard widget remotely monitors activity and usage. Leopard<br />
Server also eliminates the need to manually set up Leopard clients by<br />
automatically configuring client applications, including file sharing,<br />
Mail, iChat, iCal, Address Book and VPN from user information stored on the<br />
server.</p>
<p>Podcast Producer is the easiest way for anyone to record content,<br />
automatically upload it to the server and convert it into a podcast<br />
optimized for playback on almost any device, including a High Definition<br />
TV, iPod, Apple TV or multimedia-enabled cell phone.</p>
<p>With Wiki Server, anyone can easily create and edit collaborative web<br />
pages, called wikis, with a few clicks of a mouse. Wiki Server has 20<br />
Apple-designed web page themes and provides a complete revision history to<br />
make it easy to restore previous entries and merge or compare different<br />
versions. Wiki Server can automatically notify users whenever a change is<br />
made, keeping them up-to-date on the latest information, and users can tag<br />
keywords to find content quickly. It's easy to share calendars, schedule<br />
meetings and coordinate events within a workgroup, school, small business<br />
or large corporation using iCal Server. iCal Server is the first open,<br />
standards-based calendar server that works with popular calendar programs<br />
which support the new CalDAV standard and does not require client access<br />
licenses, so businesses can add users freely as they expand at no<br />
additional cost.</p>
<p>Leopard Server is fully UNIX compliant and its core services, including<br />
Apache 2, MySQL 5, Postfix, Podcast Producer and QuickTime Streaming<br />
Server, are 64-bit, allowing users to work with larger data sets and take<br />
full advantage of the performance and processing power of their 64-bit<br />
hardware. Since Leopard Server is fully 32-bit compatible, users can run<br />
32-bit and 64-bit applications natively side-by-side.</p>
<p>Pricing & Availability</p>
<p>Mac OS X Server version 10.5 Leopard will be available on October 26 at<br />
Apple's retail stores and through Apple Authorized Resellers for a<br />
suggested retail price of $499 (US) for a 10-client edition and $999 (US)<br />
for an unlimited-client edition. An unlimited client license of Leopard<br />
Server is included with Apple's powerful Xserve rack-mount server hardware<br />
at no extra charge. Online pre-orders can be made through the Apple Store<br />
(<a href="http://www.apple.com" title="www.apple.com">www.apple.com</a>) starting today and current subscribers to the Apple<br />
Maintenance Program will receive Leopard Server as part of their service<br />
agreement. Volume and maintenance pricing is available from Apple. The<br />
standard Mac OS Up-To-Date upgrade package is available to all customers<br />
who purchased a qualifying new Xserve system from Apple or an Apple<br />
Authorized Reseller on or after October 1, 2007 for a shipping and handling<br />
fee of $9.95 (US). Leopard Server can run on any Macintosh computer with an<br />
Intel, PowerPC G5, or G4 (867 Mhz or faster) processor, a minimum 1GB of<br />
RAM and at least 20GB of available disk space.</p>
<p>Apple ignited the personal computer revolution in the 1970s with the Apple<br />
II and reinvented the personal computer in the 1980s with the Macintosh.<br />
Today, Apple continues to lead the industry in innovation with its<br />
award-winning computers, OS X operating system and iLife and professional<br />
applications. Apple is also spearheading the digital media revolution with<br />
its iPod portable music and video players and iTunes online store, and has<br />
entered the mobile phone market this year with its revolutionary iPhone.</p>
