Save Money, Time, and IT Headache with a More Productive and Efficient Enterprise

The fact is that Mac computers are only getting more popular among users. And, with the consumerization of IT and the influx of consumer-owned devices being used for work, enterprises can save substantial money in hardware cost. However, the issue remains that without a Mac-Windows integration solution, costs associated with an overwhelmed IT Help desk and employee stalled productivity because of file compatibility issues sap those savings right off your balance sheet.

ExtremeZ-IP solves these problems by seamlessly integrating Mac computers into a Windows-based network.

With ExtremeZ-IP, enterprises can:

• Eliminate incompatibilities that Macintosh computers encounter when using traditional Windows SMB files shares like “dot underscore” files
• Support for Mac file 'resource forks'
• Handle long file names properly
• Ensure Mac users can browse DFS namespaces
• Support Compatibility with Mac OS 9 through the latest OS X 10.7 Lion
• Integrate with multiple versions of Windows like Windows 2003 and 2008 servers
• Plug Mac users directly into Active Directory
• Authenticate through Kerberos single sign-on
• Take advantage of Distributed File Systems (DFS) and Network-based Home Directories. [*]
• Enable Mac users to self-restore files with Volume Shadow Copy (VSS) previous versions support.

All while providing the Mac technologies your users expect, like:

• AFP file server access
• Network Spotlight
• Time Machine
• Bonjour resource discovery
• Auto-configuration of network printers

[*] DFS-based home directories are not yet supported for Mac OS X 10.7 Lion clients. Support for DFS-based home directories will require a follow-up release of ExtremeZ-IP and/or Mac OS 10.7.
