20 Chapter 1 Mac OS X Server in Action
Enterprise Organizations
In large organizations, Mac OS X Server helps you support the special needs of
departments and workgroups, but centralize corporate-level services.
• Open Directory lets you manage directory data centrally, but distribute it
geographically using replication.
• Other enterprise-level services might include Domain Name System (DNS), Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), Virtual Private Network (VPN), mail, web,
streaming, and JBoss.
• JBoss is an application server that implements the Enterprise Edition (J2EE)
technologies; JBoss runs on Java 1.4.1. The Mac OS X Server implementation includes
easy-to-use administration tools to help you configure and monitor the application
servers. Because of its clustering capabilities, JBoss might be run on several Xserves.
