WWDC2003 Session 604

Transcript

Kind: captions Language: en welcome welcome to session 60 for today where we talking a little bit about mac OS x server and sees keynote presentation yesterday he discussed a lot about panther and from the new features that we've introduced in the desktop today we're going to be talking about macro some server Panther give you a little bit of overview of what the product is some of the new features that are in it we understand that many of you in the audience some of you are using macros and server today for others this is the first chance you've had to take a look at the product so we're going to kind of try and have a session here that can cover both audiences what we're doing is we're building a server operating system that is really innovative it's really the easiest way to deploy open source server solution as you'll see in this presentation there's a lot of open source software that we've taken built into the server operating system but our goal here again is to make these open source server solutions very easy to use let's take a step back and look at what Apple's been doing in the past with our server products in May of 2001 we introduced mac OS x server version 10.0 that was really the first new version in our server operating system line and then in September we came out with a new version that was the 10.1 version and that was pretty much pretty similar to the previous product is from the performance improvements and stability improvement about this time last year at the developer conference if any of you were here we kind of let out a little secret that we were working on a new machine that was we talked about a rackmount server and we announced that in June and shipped it shortly thereafter so xserve was a major accomplishment for Apple and really marked a hallmark in our history of really going after the server market place and then in September just a couple months after we introduced Mac OS and server Jaguar the version version 10.2 and that was really a radical improvement for us with regards to the server operating system a lot of performance improvements many new features a lot of new desktop management enhanced enhancements again later ly er this year of moving forward earlier this year in February we updated the exurbs again came out with a brand-new xserve annex or cluster node version and then the wonderful extra raid which just has massive amount of storage for unbelievable price and then our next version our next big server accomplishment that we're working on right now is Panther Panther server and Steve mentioned that's scheduled to be available later this year hopefully all of you have had a chance to take a look at the software that we distributed to you yesterday in that packet there is a copy of chancellor server and i know for me talking to some of you in the audience that many of you have already installed it and been playing with it so i encourage you to do that there's a lot of new features in their new enhancements that you won't find in the desktop so really what is Apple server strategy this was discussed a little bit in bud tribble keynote presentation yesterday but apples really striving to bring innovation to the data center we think that there's a lot of innovative new technologies simplifications that we can bring back to the data center so what we're doing is as we mentioned we're building this you know industrial-strength server operating system we are leveraging the capabilities of the open-source group we're building upon the projects that they've provided for us and we're also focusing on standards and standards as you know is very key because it doesn't lock you as a customer into one particular vendor it allows you to pick the best solution for the for what you're deploying we're also trying to build a product that has a lot of different services built in we want this proxy very flexible fitting into different environment so there's a lot of different services in the product everything from file and print services and internet and web desktop management technologies media streaming there's a whole wealth of services that are built in but again our goal here is to really lowers cost of ownership well lower the cost of ownership for our servers but also for desktop system with our desktop management technologies that we've built into the product so what's new in Panther well there's a wonderful array of new features and this is just some of them we've got a really new improved Darwin core operating system the BSC layer of the offering system as you'll find in some of the presentations there's a lot of new enhancements there we've got a new automatic server setup feature making it very easy to configure an entire rack of X charge or just a single server all from a configuration file will be talking about that more later today and Kim the other session we listened to your feedback we've improved our administration software have a new server admin application we've built in Samba 3 some apples Mac listen server is really going to be the first commercial operating system to ship with samba 3 and sum of three gives us a lot of new features the ability to support PDC so we can host windows home directories have a single account for a log in and authentication open directory we have a new version of open directory again not only ldap base directory services but also Kerberos for authentication single sign-on goes along with kerberos so the user only has to enter a single password and they can access other services on their network a complete end-to-end VPN solution we have a VPN client in the desktop operating system and now a VPN server in Mac OS and server jboss application servers for hosting j2ee based applications and then also the put new postfix mail server having a really industrial-strength mail server finally on our on our server so now I'd like to turn the presentation over to Greg burns Greg is the engineering manager for all the mac OS and server project and Greg will give you an overview of some the features that are in Panther server Greg thank you so now we're going to take shorts or some of the features in Panther server and specifically we're going to focus on some of the things they're new in this release but we'll cover all of it as Eric mentioned for those of you maybe are not so familiar with the product and as many of you heard yesterday underlying mac OS x server is a unix foundation based on open source based on bsd and it provides the scalability and the reliability you need for a competitive server platform we've upgraded this to be sd5 and Panther server and with us we get a lot of improvements one of them is we've improved performance in this release we've improved the raw throughput and in addition we've added POSIX asynchronous i/o support which has been popular request from our database developers we've also enhanced the scalability of the file system we now support up to 16 terabytes file systems journaling is something that was introduced for the server in HFS in an update for ten two and we've now integrated that into HFS and it is the default for all HFS in mac OS 10 journaling file system and finally another popular request case-sensitive hfs+ for people that are sharing file systems out to unix clients using exurbs NFS servers case sensitivity has been a very popular request so you now have that as an option in the server with VST networking also comes advanced features like icy v6 that I see sex as well as multi-homing for most hosting multiple web domains for capable ethernet interfaces we support gigabit jumbo frames port and we also have I see over firewire which makes a great back-channel networking interface for IP sale over IP failover provides high availability in the server it allows you to set up a pair of servers that are clustered and can support bail over each one can monitor the other and pick up this IP addresses and its services in case the other one fails and then relinquish them ones when the second server comes back online we also support automatic restart which allows any service to be restarted should it fail it also will restart the whole them in the event of a system hangs and finally software raid provides reliability and performance and the storage layer and of course there's hardware raid as well from the xserve raid product line and for anybody that's familiar with UNIX of course with VSD comes all the familiar networking and system administration tools secure login through ssh a variety of shells all the VSD command is very familiar to anybody that's administered a BSC or a linux server so you'll feel right at home now we could stop there and just take all the open source foundation and throw the services on it but we didn't and we've put a lot of effort in and making sure that it's all integrated and making sure that the management tools that we provide make the whole system very easy to set up and very easy to use and so what we've done is we've added tools for automatic set up automatic configuration we've provided a wide suite of server management tools for ongoing day-to-day management and we've provided directory management tools for the directory automatic server setup allows you take a server right out of the box and set it up very simply in a matter of seconds you can take a server configuration for things like IP address domain name service setup and you can save that into a file and put it on a portable device like a firewire drive an iPod or a USB key chain drive and then when you take a server right out of the box brand-new turn it on plug it in to the network you can just plug that driving to the server it will cuz I will recognize the configuration file and configure itself automatically in a matter of seconds now that works great if you have one or two or three servers but if you have a whole rack of servers even just moving the drive around can get kind of cumbersome so what we've also done is allow you to store this configuration out of the network so you can take a rack of servers that are brand new never been touched plug them in plug them into the network turn them all on and have them all grab their configuration directly and be up and running in our second so you can't get much simpler than that so let's move over to a quick demo here and we'll have Eric come up and just do a quick demonstration to show you how simple this really is okay so we're going to go to slide number one or machine number one here and normally when you set up the server you have the setup assistant that comes up and walks you through configuring the server what we what we've done is we've walked through that that process so saved all those settings into a file that i have trim this it's ipod and so i'm going to take the ipod and i'm going to plug it in here and if all goes well what Panther server is going to do is going to see that this ipod is connected is that it mounts and in a couple seconds will see a barber pole come up it's going to configure the server and get the services up and running for that configuration and then it's going to automatically restart the machine so it's a little unsold our IP address we didn't know that but this configuration file sets up and the design method restarts and then you're set to go all right thanks sorry so in your networks y'all better control of your IP addresses than we do here at the moscone let's set but it is very simple so let's move on back to these slides here so another area that we've improved in Panther server is the administration tools we've taken all of the administration tools and integrated them into a single app which allows you to set up and monitor your services on a day-to-day basis it runs as XML over HTTP so you can monitor and configure your services remotely you can configure and mod or multiple services from within the app and one cool feature we've added in cancer server is the ability to easily replicate configurations between servers so for instance if you have a server configuration like a file server or web server and you set it up and you want to replicate that across the bank of servers you can now just take that configuration and drag it from one service to another and it will automatically configure the second server or the third or the fourth so it makes it very easy in a single steps to configure multiple servers and to change your configurations across multiple servers on an ongoing basis again very simple a very cool feature that's new in Panther server so again we'll hot air come up and we'll do a quick demo server admin okay so we'll move to a computer number two here and so the server admin application is like I said is a great new applications in cancer server allows you to take a look at all the services that you have running so in this list here on the Left we have two servers that I'm connected to them watching the servers and I can connect through here I can see their network traffic and the CPU usage and and get some of the various information one that really neat features this ability to actually take the settings from one service and apply that to another so I'm actually going to open up a new server window here and in this interface I'm going to go to my Apple file server and I'm a set make some changes to the configuration so i'm going to say you know welcome to my server server rock and i can go in here and change you know a configuration methods you know that's great any method i can set it to only you know support 200 connection i can save here no I can go okay we're going to go back I can go to logging I can set different logging options even control different settings now when I save this I can take this configuration just by holding down this little checkbox this check mark that we have here I can drag that to another server in the list so over here I'm dragging the other server and it'll take that setting and apply that to this other server so it's a really easy way of taking the services the configuration that you have from one machine and applying it to other machines on your network thanks there lastly workgroup manager allows you to manage the directory in mac OS x server all Mac os10 server is based on directory system open directory that underlies it and all of the information about account authentication service configuration is stored in the directory a workgroup manager lets you easily manage this usually managed account account settings as well as preferences and other things that can be configured through the directory because Mac os10 server is based on ldap this actually works with any ldap v3 server the one that comes with mac OS x server as well as if you're using a third-party ldap server for your environment it will work with those as well another new feature we've added for Panther server is a directory inspector which is very cool feature for power users that actually actually allows you to go in and edit the raw records in the directory server so it's not something you need on an everyday basis but it's a powerful feature feature for people that need it so open directory is an area that we've made a lot of improvements enhancer server open directory is mac OS x framework for accessing directory and authentication information all of the services in the client and the server use open directory and open directory allows us to integrate with the native services in mac OS x server l doubt and kerberos as well as a variety of other services n is for unix environment Active Directory net info DSD files so you have a wide variety of choices for configuration and for storing directory and I information for your Mac os10 system so in mac OS x server we provide the services themselves ldap is now based on openldap and kerberos is based on MIT kerberos and kerberos provides us with single sign-on which is near the Panther and Panther server this allows you to log in once securely at login time at the login window and then access all of your services with a secure Kerberos ticket so file services email you don't have to store passwords separately for each service now and also for those of you that are familiar with math question server this also gives us authenticated automount so this is another important security improvement in mac OS 10 server we know that not all of the services are going to be surprised that some of you will always need to access legacy services that use standard password encryption and so for that we have password server which provides legacy legacy encryption methods so a single server a single sign-on is based on Kerberos we are adopting MIT kerberos to this it's the based on v5 we're not changing the Kerberos protocol in any way and so because of that our implementation our server our client can be used with any deployment of MIT kerberos so whether you choose to use mac OS 10 as your KDC or whether you choose to use your own residing on another on another platform our services will work now of course we provide KDC and Mac os10 server to make it really simple out of the box to set up and configure and have a complete authentication and directory environment another improvement we've made an open directory is to improve the scalability of the directory services ldap is now hosted on berkeley DB for scalability for those of you familiar with server in the past it was hosted on the net inflow back end we still have net info in the system for those of you that want to use it for legacy support reasons but for mac OS x server Panther server and beyond all the default directory services are based on l doubt on openldap on berkeley DB this gives us the capability of hot backup for greater availability and scalability to over a hundred thousand records for server of course you need more than that and you can also replicate your services we provide replications locally that allows you to have greater availability or to have multiple servers serving the same directory information and you can also replicate remotely for greater availability for remote site and another thing we've done again to further improve the overall usability of the system out of the box is we've integrated the Kerberos KDC back end with password server and with the ldap server so that all the replication happen simply and automatically out of the box you don't have to worry about wiring except it's all connected and integrated fully and so that will bring up Eric just to show you how simple it is set up open directory services in cancer server okay so we'll go back to computer computer number two here so on the screen you'll see that we have an open directory service remember to ldap the Kerberos the sasal password authentication server so i can go and I can set a couple different settings for them first of all I can see an overview of what's actually running on the system I can look at the log and then make configuration changes so this server is currently stuff to be a standalone server it's an isolated server but I can promote it to be an open directory master going to turn on the ldap services and the Kerberos Casey etc I can also have a replica my network a replica is a machine that's bound to the master I can also have this server connected to an existing directory system so we've done a lot of work in the user interface here to really improve that make it easy to understand you can also go through and configure the different protocols search basis set up ssl authentication and you can also define password policies for your network so if I wanted to say that all my passwords on the network has to be at least a certain number of characters along or differ from the last four passwords that you've used I can make that change and impose that upon all the users in their network right thanks Eric go back to presentation that's open directory too so one of the most popular services for any server obviously is work of services file and print for the local internet and of course we provide a wide variety of services there for both silent rates looking specifically at the file sharing side we provide data services format clients asp SMB sis for windows clients and NFS per unit we've improved the performance in this release as before we provide support for multiple protocols on any SharePoint so all clients can share the same data all the ascent occation is unified through the ldap back end with the same account information and we have disk quota support so you can control the use of server resources we made some improvements to NFS in this release one popular use of NFS in the server is to reshare the NFS volumes via asd NFS has some security compromises when you use that as a sharing method and so a lot of people like to take a bank of exurbs and use them to reshare enterprise storage via AFP to their clients and another area we've improved NFS is in greater performance and also improving the reliability in this release and adding NFS file locking support for data integrity we've added Samba three for Windows client support and integrated PDC or primary drink domain controller support directly into the server so that's all configured directly out of the box very simply and easily through the administration tools and what this means is now that when you log into a Windows client at the windows login window you can use the same authentication data from mac OS x server hosted an ldap that your mac clients use or that any other client use you can share a home directory with your mac client whether you're accessing it from Windows or Mac and you can host your roaming profiles on the server that's all built into the system and it's configured through the GUI and finally we've added Active Directory Integration this is native integration that's new to Panther for both client and server and what this means is that there are no schema change is required in after directory to support an actual extent it integrates with the Kerberos authentication and active directory and for large installations that have multiple domains in their active directory forest we support automatic multi-domain authentication so it's all very simple to use very simple to configure out of the box and all of the services in mac OS x server can use active directory as their directory for its storage of their directory account another area that's important in worker services is work group management we spent a lot of effort at Apple making mac OS 10 very simple and easy to configure easy to set up and use and that's great if you have one system but you know you might have more than one you might have one hundred a thousand and then you know what do you do then well we have a set of products in mac OS x server that serve it that make this very easy to manage you can install systems on a large number of desktops on the network you can set them up you can configure them and manage them on a day-to-day basis these are work group management services in mac OS x server it's all directory-based so all of this system configuration is stored in the directory we provide services that allow you to control preferences to set preferences on these systems to control their use of resources both on the system and on the network and we provide tools to allow network installation and setup of these systems something that's new in cancer server also is the ability to do this on mobile systems so if you have mobile computers powerbooks ibooks you can manage their accounts you can manage the authentication information the account information and all of the preferences and everything else that you set to the directory and that will be synchronized automatically when your system comes onto the network and so even mobile computers now can be managed using these tools and finally two tools for installing and managing images on the network netboot netinstall netboot obviously allows you to boot a system a desktop or server over the network and two things that we've added in Panther server are the ability to netboot over HTTP as well as NFS and also the ability to do a fully disclose net suit which is very handy if you have an image of network diagnostic tools where you want to divide a problem you can net boot completely independently of any disk that's running remotely or locally on the desktop for network install this allows you to install systems over the network using net boot and you can use it to distribute software images distributed software updates and we've made a couple improvements to this in Panther server one is we've redesigned the tool that you use to create the images the network image utility to make it simpler to use and add a lot more options to it more powerful and another option that we've added in a big request is the ability to do full image installs so now you can take a volume that host system software has applications installed it's fully configured and you can clone that and do network installs of system or volume images as well as packages or clean system installed so that covers the work group services built into mac OS x server so now what I'm going to do is I'm going to bring Chris lacroix and then Francis Francois Giroux up on stage and they're going to talk more about some of the services that allow you to host web services as well as network services in mac OS x server for Chris it's great alright so internet and networking services she ate a bunch of the directory services and file services mac OS x server also includes a good number of internet and network services slowly start that up first one is media streaming so necklace 10 server has always included quicktime streaming server which is an extremely powerful media streaming cervix like extremely powerful for doing screaming on the land and do extremely high quality across the land of supports multicast you can send extremely high bitrate quick content over your networks using a look at multicast it supports mpeg-4 all the QuickTime content mp3 compatible with Windows and Macintosh players it's also a server that is powerful enough to be to be used for streaming across Munich so a lot of a big content distribution networks that you see including the ones that Apple users are using the tensioning server as their if they're straining server for serving mpeg-4 and QuickTime content and then with the advent at 802 11 in a powerbook in the QuickTime broadcaster application you can actually have a completely mobile solution so you can actually take a powerbook wirelessly walk around the room scream broadcast send it up to a server and stream that out over the Internet and she not done quite a few times so new with some Panther servers quicktime streaming server 5 it's got all the same features that it's always had it has no license keys we don't charge per screen supports mac windows and linux clients which reports linux plans through it some mpeg-4 compatibility and supports in an instant on technology which basically eliminates all of the buffering messages you would see normally when you're when you're streaming if it starts up as fast as if it's playing locally on a good broadband connection skip protection which is our technology for guarantee and quality of service across the internet as we know there are always blips in the internet skip protection is the technology that basically eliminates those blips when you're watching content and the server's performance sternly well that comes off of a single machine stream up to 4,000 concurrent streams and if you want to do more than that are clearly just a matter of buying a few more expert so also knew which Panther server is cute ESS publisher so this is a new application that provides a way to remotely manage your cons your clicked on content it we're putting up on the internet so it automatically takes care of things like hinting or preparing it for the web servers it'll automatically create web galleries that it's tightly integrated with the Apache web server on mac OS x server it has all of you I for creating playlists managing the order of play list scheduling playlists and doing all those things mp3 playlists as well as quicktime content playlist it allows you to edit annotations and behind-the-scenes all of this is happening with some unix tools that we wrote for Panther server so you can now from the command line do things like hint movies change annotations all of that from the shell if that's that's the way like to do you think quicktime broadcaster is probably shipped about a year ago it allows you to take any firewire camera plug it in and do a broadcast from your computer supports all of the quicktime codecs and of course it supports the standard mpeg-4 scott a bit of functionality we call reliable transporting with a diaz is a guarantee that the stream from the broadcaster to the server is going to be is going to be a solid stream and that's really important because if you lose packets from the broad between the broadcast or in the server every single client sees that lush we've got a way to guarantee that all the package get there it supports unicast and multicast as well and as I and it delivers is no complaint streams so those are an pit floor stream to any standard player so to play on Linux for any player that supports for standard ISO and pick for clarity so networking services got books from old stuff and some new stuff and panzer regressions they old I mean it was available in Jaguar circuit and they go through both of those we have an entire slew of networking services I'm not going to go through all of these DNFs dhcp you've got network time server firewall we've added VPN which is new authentication and it's all standard so you can connect Macintoshes you can set windows machines Linux machines install completely standard we don't we don't believe in proprietary technologies where we can help it so dynamic host configuration we've had dhcp and jaguar server we've got is a couple of things to a panther server gates occasional provides automatic doling out of addresses we've added the ability to specify Elda ldap directories for those machines we've also added the ability in the UI to find a specific ethernet address to the IP address of any machine so they've got machines that you want to have a permanent IP address but have it served up via DHCP you can do that now to arm through our admin application and of course you can control IP address ranges the lease times and network routing things like that next some networking network routing technologies so we have all we've had an ad on the desktop for mac OS x server we've now moved that functionality into the server so in the server admin you can now configure NAT we've also added a VPN server and you can all end that confess all configurable in the new server admin as well it works it's worked with all standards that also works with windows technologies so that you can use things like ms chap and pptp as well as lttp so DNS so we've we've bumped version of bind up to nine so good like that for you [Applause] so you're going to get dynamic dns things like that and this is all you know every so every one knows what's the most light widely deployed dns server on the internet for those of you who really like to configure bind files your job security is kind of limited now that we've added you I to the to the habit and if you get a chance to look at it it's actually pretty slick I think we did a good job on on the UI on this one and firewall this isn't new but we have we done to you I on this it's really simple to set up kind of basic rules excusing the standard Berkeley ipfw we also have some UI that will allow more advanced people to set up basically any rule at IPFW can handle and something we didn't have in the past all of the configuration for firewall was actually stored up in that info database we move that down into a config file although you can do everything in the UI if you need to SSH into a machine jeron them you know an on Macintosh machine you can always get in there and change those configurations that way and next is mail through position so Mac lives tanks rivard prior to Panther we had a proprietary mail server if it was a standard server it supported all of the normal internet standards we also had a web mail server through squirrelmail allows connectivity because because it's all standard to any to any platform that supports standard mail we've made a couple of changes we no longer have a proprietary mail server we've moved to post fix for the MTA and we did that for a lot of reasons it scales well it's very secure written by a security expert the configure it's easy to configure in terms of the configuration files I've ever seen send mail configuration you know what I'm talking about and then we've all for imap and pop we've moved to Cyrus and there were a few reasons for doing that too so Cyrus is a proven imap server it supports clustering so it's easy to scale it you can configure it to work with multiple machines and it also supports the ability to store your mail for different accounts on on any variety of machine so if you want to segment up your email users for two different back-end stores you can do that and it's not a problem to all the Cyrus and we are of course carburizing it so it'll work properly with single sign-on and it also will support we will support ssl our mail servers so on top of mailing list with the with the what the mail server we had in the past with Jaguar it had a fun a feature that would allow you to take any group in the directory and treat that as a mailing list while we're losing that because with the new mail servers but what we decided to do and replace that functionality is to add like a real mailing list server so we've added the mail mail man mailing list server mailman's extremely powerful it's actually the one if you go to lift stop calm one Apple users for its mailing list for the public we've built some UI into into the server admins who actually create mailing lists in the admin mailman as you know has web-based tools as well so for your end users they can go in and they can change their options if they want digest mode if they don't want digest mode they can go to a web page and set all of that stuff up it supports all kinds of features such as mailed in mail the news gateways bounce handling spam prevention and if also it's also got email based administration commands as most of good mailing this is do webmail so we have read the version of webmail that we're using in Panther server web mail is a standards-based webmail package written in PHP there's really good things about one isn't it's pure HTML it's not using any JavaScript it's compatible with basically any browsers you have to worry about compatibility their works with any smtp or IMAP mail server eyes you know the reason why you need to use it with anything other than Panther server supports mind encoding address books now which is new we didn't have that in the prior version folder manipulation you can host this mail via ssl so you can have completely secure mail over the web and we've gone the version that we've moved up to now supports Japanese so we've got Japanese support for squirrel mail and it just going to come up in the demo some embryo okay so we'll go back to computer number two here and our mail server in the pic mail server is a really great mail service or really happy to provide a really good user interface for it so here in the user interface the administrator can go in they can enable and disable smtp set up there I map even have messages sent you know to postmaster at you know apple com or whatever I can go in and I can configure the mailing list those Chris showed in the user interface here you can enable them i can add new ones to it i can set up filters spam prevention is very key very important this user interface here allows us to have a real rich set of spam filtering options and then also controlled many large levels and then the last inner last screen here allows you to configure the authentication options and some of the host this is really important if you've got if you are in secure environments or you want to use kerberos only for your authentication nice feature down here is the ability to use ssl so i can say you have to use SSL or i can use a self that's available or it can require ssl so if you want to implement secure email on your network that you can do that and force it and enforce it in requirement for all your clients grapes in check so back to UM slides so next is web services in Panther server we are once again including the Apache web server we have we have performance optimized Apache web server we've were able to do far far far more connections that aren't than a typical Apache web server would be able to do even a little faster and Panther we ship 1.3 is the default web server and that's actually the one that you'll be you'd be configuring when you're when you're in the server admin but we do include two point oh so people who do want to use that xterra you can use it part of the problem of weed screen is that there just hasn't the adoption rate really the adoption hasn't really happened yet there a lot of modules that haven't been ported over to teria 20 yet and so patching 1.3 is what we decided to stick with for Panther we greatly improved the administration interface you crawl I'm you making bud tribble demo a little bit of a little bit of it yesterday it's really really easy to set up sites and realms and things like that gnome as include we included web dev for web publishing we have bumped the version of MySQL 24 so for those of you waiting for that that's there and we server has all kinds of support for server-side scripting architectures SSI pearl Ruby Ruby PHP we're changing the build style of PHP so we're actually including more of the functions of more of the development functions that people needed and they've got in our patent our PHP module so that will be good for developers so basically taking all of you some sudden estevez can read all of it macos cancer server basically has everything needed to create three-tier websites for inter web sites on Mac OS 10 the server we include a bunch of stuff to do your own thing if you you know you've got third-party products you can grab as well for the oracle so it's a great development platform for web for web development and french walls going to come up and talk a little bit more about those technologies think okay to wake up the audience let's have a little show of hands how many she said means are among us today how many developers sitting in for this admins also these people must be a little way of overhead right now and for them Steyn to take out your notebooks and to remember the few slides that are going to come up so in mac OS x server we are leveraging the best standard and the best technology to bring you the best application servers but first there is java java has evolved as an OS on top of us nowa days application servers are huge multi-threaded visas they are all implemented in Java they spawn thousand of simultaneous threads they open and close thousands of i/o connection and the necessitate an enterprise-grade java vm underneath them that's what we are providing with a jdk one dot for on a jdk 103 implementation now the big news today is able jboss is very popular on out there it is popular for three reasons it's free it's free and it's free now holding you bundle free software and no and do not show up at a freeloader you add value and we believe we are adding tremendous value on top of tables the real three reasons for tables being popular are it's unbeatable quality for the price I'm going to include the next one is its perceived ease of use and the third one is its modular design it is perceived ease of use but as mercury the jboss founder says they are pushing the envelope at the container level which means that they are not really investing in the deployment ease of use developers developers love jboss deployers hate it if your assistant mean to use tables you'll have to speak XML in your dream now this is going to be a dream come true we are introducing tool to enable you to deployable easily on my question server all goal is to make mac OS x server the best platform to deploy j2ee applications we are doing this in three steps first jboss is integrated in the server admin plugin so gone there is a JBoss deployment tool that lets you take j2ee application from ide and package them talking to the JBoss server prepackaged them to deploy them and third there is a JBoss management console that lets you manage the JBoss server start and stop services look at its statistics and so on and manager lifecycle of your application now this is all night work where is the modular design I'm going to give you a few examples of services that we are language able the first one is tom cat you're all familiar with tomcat we've been shipping it for a while we are reading the version to what 24 dot one dot X because it's always involved and we integrated it enjoyable so no tom cat lives inside table and can be managed by the same tools as I talked about in the previous slide and the servlet and JSP applications can be pre packaged by the deployment tool the web objects application server web object has been improved and will be shifted version 5 dot-to-dot to with a much better j2ee packaging process you know as true war packaging for web objects and also through jndi configuration for web objects another example is again from apache it's the active web service project we're bringing version 1 dot one and it is integrated it benefits from tables and also is leveraged by webobjects for all direct web services solution it will be the session 624 i believe on friday so these are all but a few examples of services that are bundled with tables and they enabled they enabled us to bring to mac OS x server the best in j2ee application deployment [Applause] so as you can see whether you're hosting a single website or whether you have a sophisticated three-tier java application architecture Mac os10 server has all of the services that you need built right in finally last but not least documentation so we currently ship mac west end server with two manuals and we've got lots of requests to improve that and so we've answered those requests and we are going to be upping that count 12 manuals in this release will have over a thousand pages of online help and we've added or updated over a hundred man pages to better document the UNIX underpinnings of mac OS x server so we've really made some big improvements there so to wrap it all up so Mac os10 server built on a strong UNIX foundation we have a broad array of services these are some of the highlights they won't even all fit on one slide but we've taken all of those we've integrated them we've put administration tools on top of them to make it easy to set up and use and manage on a day-to-day basis and for Panther server the items up in blue our services that are either been added or had major enhancements in this release so BSC 5 automatic setup you know major improvements to the management tool open directory to you know samba 3 VPN post fix mail server jboss application server so we've made a lot of changes in Panther server it's going to be a great product so we also have a lot of sessions that are coming up here if you want to learn more this gives you an overview of the products kind of let you know what's in math western server there's an in-depth session that's coming up after this over in the marina that's going to go into more detail about api's and underpinnings of the server do you want more information we have server sessions on authentication and directory services this afternoon and tomorrow and for those of you that are interested in desktop management we have sessions on those tomorrow and Thursday that will tell you more about the services and also for developers tell you about building applications that work well in those environment now one thing if you're interested in giving us feedback we have a feedback form today it's at five o'clock but unfortunately due to scheduling conflicts it's also at the same time as the authentication session so we hope they'll come to one of those either come to the authentication session to learn about a syndication or come to the feedback form where we'll be there to answer your questions or take your feedback but we hope to see you at one of those tomorrow we have a wallet story actually there's several weblogic sessions going on throughout the conference but here are a few that are that we've called out of major interest but check your books for the others as well as several sessions or quicktime streaming as well so if you have any more questions you'd like to contact somebody skip lemons and developer relations or erics lanka and product marketing or the contacts for mac OS x server and with that I'd like to bring the speakers back on stage we have a bit of time for Q&A if anybody has any questions please step up to the mic and we'll take impressions you
