ExtremeZ-IP File Server software adds Macintosh file sharing (AppleShare) to Windows file servers. ExtremeZ-IP File Server is the first and only Windows-based file server that fully supports Mac OS X, making it a "must have" for mixed Mac and Windows computing environments.

Since 1999, ExtremeZ-IP's performance, compatibility, ease of use and reliability has made it the Mac connectivity tool of choice among thousands of organizations worldwide. ExtremeZ-IP File Server offers support for Apple's latest version of the AppleShareIP file sharing protocol, AFP 3.1. So unlike the alternatives, ExtremeZ-IP File Server supports all the important new Mac OS X features like long file names, file sizes over 2GB on the server, single sign-on authentication using Kerberos, and true compatibility between Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X files.

afp 3.1 "autoreconnect" an important feature - Version: 4.0, 5/7/2005 08:30AM PST

long file names may be a feature but we discourage it since jobs have to be sent to vendors and clients who may not be able to handle the long file names.

the most important feature for a production environment is the support for "autoreconnect" which reestablishes your connection when there's a network anomoly. that's right, osx can "reconnect" but only if the server supports it - which is why afp 3.1 (which you get with extremez-ip) is so important.

I would not run OSX clients on a Windows server without EZ-IP. In addition to the fast searching and long name support, from a security standpoint I like it better. SFM, at least in my experience with NT and Windows 2000, sends login credantials can only ben sent as plain text. With EZ-IP they can be sent over encrypted. In some environments plain text may be okay, but not in mine.
