Introduction

Apple's Mac OS X Server celebrates its ten-year anniversary in 2009 with the new release of Snow Leopard Server. Whether you're experienced with Apple's server product or new to the platform, this book has been designed to help you stitch together the powerful, proven legacy behind Unix, the rapidly advancing technology available from open-source software, and the ease of use and rich integration Apple builds into its products.

This book covers lots of ground quickly but is designed to guide you through practical, in-depth server administration tasks while providing a helpful background in how things work in Apple's server operating system.

What's Inside This Book

Part I begins with an overview of the advanced planning required to successfully deploy servers, the administration tools you'll use, the configurations Apple has designated to serve the needs of both basic and advanced users, and an introduction to the layers within Mac OS X, which starts at the kernel, moves up through Unix and its open-source software components, into Apple's specialized server applications, and finally moves beyond the server itself into managing users and client computers on the network.

Successive sections delve deeper into each of these subject areas, providing additional details on how to get the most from Mac OS X Server from the planning stages through installation and configuration and how to effectively monitor and optimize for performance.
