Podcast Producer

This complete, end-to-end solution for producing professional quality podcasts is ideal for product training, sales presentations, university lectures, or employee updates. With the Podcast Capture application in Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard, users can capture audio and video, record onscreen actions, or submit existing QuickTime content to the server. Once the content is uploaded, Podcast Producer in Leopard Server automatically publishes it in formats optimized for playback on almost any device, from HD video to iPod, Apple TV, or any multimedia-enabled cell phone.
Wiki Server

Wiki Server

With Leopard Server, it's easy for anyone to create collaborative web pages, called "wikis", complete with group calendar, blog and mailing list archive. Wiki Server includes 20 Apple-designed themes for wiki-powered websites, where group members can create blog entries, tag and cross-reference material, upload files and images, add comments, and perform keyword searches—all with just a few clicks. And there's no need to worry about mistakes, because the wiki maintains the complete history, so you can always revert to a previous version of any page.
iCal Server

iCal Server

Leopard Server includes a complete calendaring platform that makes it easy for individuals and groups to share calendars, coordinate events, schedule meetings, reserve resource, and use their time more effectively. The first commercial calendar server to support the open CalDAV standard, iCal Server enables integration with popular CalDAV-based calendar programs without requiring client access licenses—so businesses and schools can add users freely as they expand, at no additional cost.
Spotlight Server

Spotlight Server

The fastest way to search and find content on servers, Spotlight Server is designed for workgroups with shared documents, projects, and file archives. It works with Mac OS X Leopard clients to deliver lightning-fast searches of content stored on shared volumes across the entire network. And with the Quick Look feature in Leopard, you can use Cover Flow to scan hundreds of files in just seconds—without ever needing to open them.

Infrastructure Enhancements

Leopard Server is fully UNIX-compliant, providing compatibility and portability with existing UNIX 03 products. New kernel process and scheduling enhancements provide optimal performance on the latest generation of Intel multi-core process. In addition, many services in Leopard Server—including Apache 2, MySQL 5, Postfix, Podcast Producer, and QuickTime Streaming Server—are 64-bit, able to take maximum advantage of the processing power and addressable memory of 64-bit system hardware. And since Leopard Server is also 32-bit compatible, 32-bit and 64-bit applications can run side by side, both at native performance.

Additional Features

In addition to Leopard Server's unique features, it also provides all the services that you would expect from an enterprise-class server. The include DNS, Firewall, RADIUS, DHCP, VPS, Kerberos, Print, NetBoot, Imaging, Open Directory/LDAPv3, Client Management, IM/Jabber, Xgrid/Distributed Computing, Time Machine/Backup and file Server (AFP, CIFS/SMB, NFS). Leopard Server uses many of the same open source services that are used in most Linux and UNIX servers.
