WHAT'S NEW
Version 6.0:
  • Today's most compatible, scalable, innovative AFP server, delivering world-class performance along with increased manageability and monitoring options.
  • A fully integrated File and Print Sharing Solution which combines the advanced functionality of ExtremeZ-IP File Server and Print Server into a single powerful platform for optimized compatibility between Mac desktops and Windows servers.
  • Innovative solutions to Mac/Windows compatibility problems, designed to extend the Mac experience for Mac users when interfacing with a Windows server.
  • Maximum performance and reliability no matter the size of your network, the number of users, numbers of files or the size of the files.
  • Elimination of AppleTalk throughout your network infrastructure which can reduce your costs.
  • Expanded flexibility to define and enforce file name policies on your servers for increased compatibility in Mac-Windows workflows.
  • Simplified server administration through seamless integration with Active Directory.
  • The only Windows AFP server that supports enterprise-class single sign-on authentication of Mac clients.
  • [NEW] Complete support for Microsoft DFS Namespaces and Home Directories. As Macs are more accepted in the corporate IT environment, it is essential that they fully support and integrate with the Microsoft DFS infrastructure that is being deployed or already in place.
  • Unmatched file name search speeds - significantly faster than SFM and SMB.
  • [NEW] Full support for Apple’s Innovative Network Spotlight and is the only Windows Server solution that allows full content searching from the Mac to a Windows-based file share. Mac users connected to an ExtremeZ-IP file server can type a phrase and immediately get back a list of all files on the server that contain the phrase.
  • Support for clustering under Microsoft Cluster Services provides the capability for multiple virtual servers per cluster node with increased scalability.
  • nstant discovery of all network file and print servers right from a user's desktop.
  • Innovative "reconnect" feature of the AFP protocol, allowing a Mac that loses connectivity to the server to seamlessly re-establish connectivity, authentication, and all of its open files without data loss.

    DONMONTALVO  We have been using ExtremeZ-IP for years to provide AFP3 which Windows server does not offer (only offers AFP2). AFP3 fully supports OSX (AFP2 does not). It's simple and easy to install. Install, turn off SFM, done, no reboot of Win server needed.

    The importance of ExtremeZ-IP is even greater given the fact Microsoft removed SFM (which includes AFP2) from Windows Server 2008.

    If your mixed platform environment is forced to use Windows server on the back end, do yourself and your company a favor, get ExtremeZ-IP (SMB is not any better than AFP2) so your MacOS users are fully supported.

    PS, The "Auto-reconnect" feature alone is worth the price of ExtremeZ-IP
