ExtremeZ-IP connects Macintosh computers to a Microsoft Windows Server or Workstation/Professional using the TCP/IP protocol.
Developed to work with, ExtremeZ-IP 2.0.1 has been optimized to take advantage of the superior performance of Windows 2.
This powerful combination delivers the throughput two to five times faster than Windows NT or 2 alone. Faster than any other third-party Mac-Windows file server software.
Here are some key features of "ExtremeZIP":
Enjoy the latest Mac OS X improvements including long file names, large files on the server, Rendezvous and Kerberos
Banish annoying SFM bugs
Eliminate AppleTalk for browsing, file sharing and printing
Simplify network administrators jobs since ExtremeZ-IP requires no client software to install and maintain on every desktop machine
Eliminate the delay of indexing at startup
Exploit the latest Windows clustering technologies improving uptime and simplifying maintenance
Share an unlimited number of files instead of the 65K limit with Windows NT
Ensure compatibility with Windows 2003 , as ExtremeZ-IP is the only AppleShareIP file server being enhanced for Windows 2003
Guarantee complete interoperability with Services for Macintosh
Preserve complete interoperability between Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X users
Limitations:
21 day trial period.
What's New:
Added a dialog that warns administrators about the risks of sharing out the root of a drive. [#4298] [#4.2.2x07]
Made the "SleepInterval" registry key refreshable. [#6218] [4.2.2x01]
Improved performance of opening the Log window of the Administrator. [#2119] [#4.2.2x01]
Added a workaround for a problem where files saved in Adobe Photoshop CS2 would cause Photoshop to crash when running on OS 10.4.6. This crash is a result of OS 10.4.6’s support for file comments greater than 128 characters and Photoshop CS2’s lack of support for these long comments. To activate this workaround, enable the "ServerTruncatesOS9Comments" registry key. This will cause all files with long comments that are written to an ExtremeZ-IP network volume to have their file comments truncated to 128 characters. See the help file for more details. [#6355] [4.2.2x07]
Fixed a problem where sleeping sessions would take 30 seconds to be disconnected from the Administrator. [#6335] [4.2.2x07]
Fixed a problem where search index files from different volumes could collide if stored in the same folder. [#6323] [4.2.2x07]
Fixed a problem where search indexing would not initialize properly on a volume that had previously failed to come online. [#6264] [4.2.2x06]
Fixed a problem where the service could crash while reindexing a volume's search index. [#6268] [4.2.2x05]
Fixed a problem where inaccessible files and/or folders could be displayed on the client machine even if the server was configured to hide inaccessible files or folders. [#6237] [4.2.2x01]
Fixed a problem where the number of open forks listed in the main windows of the Administrator would sometimes not match the number of forks listed in the Administrator's Files window. [#5702] [4.2.2x01].
Requirements:
File Server: TIGER COMPATIBLE - Windows Server Platforms: 2003, 2 - Windows Professional Platforms: XP Pro, 2 Pro - Minimum processor and RAM depends on server load - Memory required for sharing large numbers of files is configurable by the administrator; more memory will provide better performance for some workflows - Switched TCP/IP based network provides best performance – 100BaseT or 1BaseT - ExtremeZ-IP volumes must be on NTFS formatted drive
