Mac OS X and AFP 3.1 support ensures full compatibility with Apple standards, including support of large files, long file names and server reconnect. It works with any Macintosh out of the box, without the need to train users. EtherShare is easy to set up. It installs on the server in minutes. All further management is done remotely. It is simple to configure users, groups, volumes, print spoolers, server settings, log files, etc. with HELIOS Admin via an easy to use GUI interface.

EtherShare not only offers impressive file and print services, AppleTalk routing, and remote administration, but many additional features which prove extremely useful for daily work. AFP over TCP/IP acceleration is built-in so clients can fully utilize faster networks like Fast or Gigabit Ethernet.

TCP/IP Print Spooling via the EtherShare exclusive TCP/IP printer drivers prints many times faster than Mac OS PAP or LPR. Detailed print job accounting information is easily reviewed or exported to other programs. EtherShare is tightly integrated with ImageServer, PDF HandShake, and PrintPreview to serve the widest range of prepress needs.

Authentication via LDAP, AD/PDC, NIS and local server users is fully supported by the HELIOS Authentication server included in HELIOS Base.

HELIOS supports a variety of server platforms with equal feature sets, identical administration, and same release dates. This gives customers the flexibility to choose the right server for their needs, budgets, and future plans.
