Description
The Workgroup Server 8550/200 is the most powerful member of the PowerPC processor-based Workgroup Server family from Apple. It delivers file and print, database, Internet, and communications capabilities that meet the needs of growing workgroups in education, business, and publishing. And it's ideal for workgroups that use both Macintosh and Windows software-based computers.
Apple Workgroup Servers are highly reliable, high-performance systems with large storage capacity that provide organizations with faster, more efficient shared network services and secure centralized storage. And the Workgroup Server 8550/200 not only meets these criteria, but also runs the familiar graph-ical interface of the Mac OS, making all of its capabilities incredibly easy to use.
Featuring a 200-megahertz PowerPC 604e processor with 64K on-chip cache and 512K level 2 memory cache, the Workgroup Server 8550/200 delivers all the performance benefits of state-of-the-art RISC technology. And for easy, flexible expansion, the Workgroup Server 8550/200 features three PCI slots that let you add capabilities by installing any of a variety of cards.
To make sure that network adminis-trators can work as efficiently as pos-sible, and that users get the most out of all that power and capacity, the Workgroup Server 8550/200 offers a choice of three software bundle solu-tions. The Applications Server Solution provides a variety of useful Apple and third-party software for administration, reliability, productivity, and performance. The AppleShare Server Solution includes all of the software that comes with the Applications Server, plus AppleShare file and print server software, remote administration software from Santorini, and Apple Remote Access MultiPort Server software. These two Workgroup Server 8550/200 solutions also include AppleShare Client for Windows software, so Windows users on the network can access networked printers and files stored on a Workgroup Server running AppleShare file and print server software. The Apple Internet Server Solution comes with all the software you need to create a presence on the World Wide Web -- quickly, easily, and affordably.
So if you need a high-performance server for a demanding workgroup, we have the solution -- the powerful and expandable Workgroup Server 8550/200.
