<p>Apple Announces Mac OS X Server "Tiger"</p>
<p>Shipping April 29 With Support for 64-bit Applications, iChat Server,<br />
Weblog Server & Xgrid</p>
<p>CUPERTINO, California-April 12, 2005-Apple today announced that Mac OS X<br />
Server version 10.4 "Tiger" will be available on Friday, April 29, at the<br />
same time as the Mac OS X version 10.4 "Tiger" desktop version. The next<br />
major release of Apple's award-winning, UNIX-based server operating system,<br />
Tiger Server integrates over 100 leading open source projects and<br />
standards-based software applications with easy-to-use management tools<br />
that make it easy to deploy for Mac, Windows and Linux clients. Tiger<br />
Server has over 200 new features including native support for 64-bit<br />
applications, ideal for high performance computing; iChat Server to deploy<br />
secure instant messaging within an organization; Weblog Server that makes<br />
it simple to publish and share weblogs (blogs); and Xgrid to make it easy<br />
to turn a group of Macs into a virtual supercomputer. </p>
<p> "Tiger Server continues Apple's blazing pace of innovation and is the best<br />
release of Mac OS X Server yet," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice<br />
president of Worldwide Product Marketing. "With no client access fees and<br />
over 100 open source projects combined with Apple's legendary ease of use,<br />
Tiger Server is the clear choice for all Mac and PC workgroups and an ideal<br />
alternative to Windows and Linux servers."</p>
<p> Tiger Server brings the power of 64-bit computing to mainstream servers.<br />
For the first time, applications can unleash 64-bit performance when<br />
accessing massive amounts of memory through 64-bit addressing and also<br />
undertake high precision math calculations with 64-bit optimized math<br />
libraries, at the same time as running 32-bit applications. Combined with<br />
Apple's Power Mac G5 or Xserve G5, Tiger Server offers an affordable,<br />
easy-to-manage solution for the most demanding high performance scientific,<br />
technical and creative computing needs. </p>
<p> Tiger Server also includes a brand new iChat Server designed for<br />
organizations that need to keep internal communication private. iChat<br />
Server integrates within an organization's existing directory services,<br />
uses SSL/TSL encryption to ensure privacy, works with Apple's popular iChat<br />
conferencing software in Tiger and is compatible with open source Jabber<br />
clients available on Windows, Linux and popular PDAs.</p>
<p> Weblog Server is fully compatible with Safari in Tiger and makes it easy<br />
for non-technical individuals to publish and syndicate content using their<br />
existing web browsers. It supports calendar-based navigation, user and<br />
group blogs and HTML, RSS, RSS2, RDF or ATOM protocols. Weblog Server can<br />
integrate with Open Directory, LDAP and access control lists for<br />
authentication and comes with several Apple-designed blog themes. </p>
<p> Tiger is the first operating system to include a built-in distributed<br />
computing architecture for both the desktop and server versions. Both Tiger<br />
and Tiger Server include Xgrid, Apple's easy-to-use solution for<br />
distributed computing. Xgrid makes it easy to turn an ad hoc group of Macs<br />
into a virtual supercomputer by streamlining the process of assembling<br />
nodes, submitting jobs, and retrieving results. With Xgrid, scientists,<br />
animators and digital content creators can easily run a single job across<br />
multiple computers at once, dramatically improving performance and<br />
responsiveness.</p>
<p> Other new features in Tiger Server include:</p>
<p> * support for Access Control Lists and native file permissions of Windows<br />
XP and Windows Server 2003 Active Directory environments that provide a<br />
more flexible permissions model to give administrators better control over<br />
files, folders and network services in mixed platform environments;</p>
<p> * Software Update Server that saves on network costs and avoids bandwidth<br />
bottlenecks by letting system administrators host their own proxy/cache<br />
server to control the availability of Apple's software updates; </p>
<p> * Adaptive Junk Mail Filtering with virus detection and quarantine helps<br />
protect all clients connected to the mail server from viruses and unwanted<br />
junk email;</p>
<p> * Gateway Setup Assistant to make it easier for small business and home<br />
office users to set up complex network services, including DHCP, NAT, DNS,<br />
port routing, firewall and VPN services; and</p>
<p> * Ethernet Link Aggregation and Network Interface Failover that support<br />
the IEEE 802.3ad standard to increase potential I/O performance and<br />
eliminate single points of failure by allowing multiple network interfaces<br />
to appear as a single interface.</p>
<p>Pricing & Availability</p>
<p>Mac OS X Server version 10.4 "Tiger" will be available on April 29 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 />

or an Apple Authorized Reseller on or after April 12 for a shipping and<br />

<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 desktop and notebook computers, OS X operating system, and<br />
iLife and professional applications. Apple is also spearheading the digital<br />
music revolution with its iPod portable music players and iTunes online<br />
music store.</p>
