Server 8 Advanced makes it easier than ever to create robust FileMaker Web-based solutions that can be shared with up to 100 simultaneous users, so teams of all sizes can access business-critical information, work collaboratively, and increase productivity no matter where they are.

With Server 8 Advanced, you have more ways to share your data than ever before. In just a few minutes, you can be sharing your data over your local network, the Internet, with Windows and Mac users, and even in popular formats such as Microsoft Excel, Adobe PDF, and more. And with the powerful security options in FileMaker, you can control what data is accessible by whom, so sharing is worry-free. If your computers are connected to a network, you and other Windows and Mac OS FileMaker Pro 8 users can access the same database file simultaneously.

In fact, Server 8 Advanced lets you serve data simultaneously to up to 100 Web-based clients, 50 ODBC/JDBC clients, and 250 FileMaker Pro 8 and 7 clients. You can also host up to 125 database files simultaneously to store massive amounts of FileMaker data on your network, while providing both stability and faster network performance to your FileMaker Pro users. The software includes forms-based authentication for increased security, and it also gives you the ability to customize the instant Web publishing home page to help users navigate your Web site.

Using the “Instant Web Publishing” feature, you can quickly publish information or create custom Web interfaces with XML data and server-based XSLT processing. Instant Web publishing also lets you publish your database as Web pages within a local network or intranet. And by employing the “Site Assistant,” you can easily create new XSLT sites.

For added security, Server 8 Advance gives you the option of enhancing the FileMaker Pro security system by optionally encrypting data transferred between hosted databases and desktop clients using the SSL protocol. User accounts and passwords can be efficiently managed through external authentication using industry standard Active Directory and Open Directory.
