OS X Server 10.6 Snow Leopard Training DVD

Better Servers for Better Communication

While it’s easy to think about the server as a central storage and distribution point for data, this view can often take away from some of the practical aspects of what a server can actually do. With the latest release of its admin operating system, OSX Server 10.6 Snow Leopard, Apple Computer has made it clear that it sees the server as a communications platform. Several new components are included with 10.6 Server that make this point clear.

Podcast Producer 2
With Podcast Producer 2, users have a new way of recording video and audio presentations and sharing them among a small user group or with the entire web. Whether producing a simple training video for employees or creating a broadcast-style recording that takes advantage of multiple remote cameras and microphones, this new edition of Podcast Producer offers a versatile array of production options.

Because it’s an integrated part of the server OS, as soon as a recording is finished, it can be automatically published in a wide variety of formats, accessible from other computers, set-top boxes and hand-held devices. The fact that this program comes as part of Apple’s server configuration rather than with its workstation line is noteworthy; the distribution of content is just as important as how it is created.

Wiki Server 2
Another communication technology included with Apple’s server software is the wiki, the ability to create completely customizable websites designed specifically with multi-user input and collaboration in mind. Whether maintaining an up-to-date resource on the internet or keeping an in-house records system that is accessible only to relevant personnel, setting up a wiki is a smart communications platform made even simpler by this WYSIWYG software solution.

As part of the latest release, Apple has included Quicklook for wiki elements, better RSS integration, and business collaboration support for the iPhone.

Mobile Access Server
Because the iPhone has quickly evolved into a viable business tool, giving users the ability to interact with the information stored on central servers was undoubtedly a smart move. Forgoing the need to use a VPN, 10.6 Server’s mobile access functionality allows completely secure access to services and data, including email, online applications, calendars and contact lists.

AutoCAD 2010 : Compatibility at Your Command

Any time a new version of a professional software application is released, the existing user base has one concern: compatibility. Will the program play nice with the files I’ve already created with the older version? Will the software accept previously customized settings and tool panels, and will the program even run on my machine?

As a long-term player in the industries of engineering, architecture, and even fields as diverse as fashion design, AutoCAD has undergone several major revisions, leaving the developers at Autodesk particularly sensitive to the needs of its users. It’s crucially important that designers working with older or slightly different versions of the application can access their files and share their concepts and plans with a wide variety of clients and colleagues.

AutoCAD 2010 succeeds on multiple levels. Every few editions, Autodesk updates the DWG drawing file format to reflect enhancements in compression, portability, and metadata capabilities. After retaining the same format for the last three releases, AutoCAD has a new specification of the DWG filetype that reflects the expanding range in the AutoCAD product line. AutoCAD 2010 can still open DWG files created in an earlier edition, and it does feature export functionality, as well.

The big breakthrough, though, is the new DWG file’s cross-compatibility with the industry-specific versions of AutoCAD that have just been released. With the availability of AutoCAD Electrical, AutoCAD Mechanical, AutoCAD Architecture, and AutoCAD MEP, there has never been such an extensive selection of professional tools available. Luckily, the new DWG file format runs natively in every one of these applications, allowing a seamless transfer of information and ideas across multiple workflows and areas of design and construction.

In addition, AutoCAD 2010 fully supports single- and multi-core systems, and has a new, improved PDF export option that make even more of the problems that arose in multiple-user environments a thing of the past.
