Quick installation and administration
Most installations of FileMaker Server take less than 20 minutes so it’s easy to instantly start managing your custom apps remotely and automating administrative tasks.
24/7 reliability and availability
Get anytime access to your data with 24/7 availability. Protect your data with scheduled live back-ups, which run even while your apps are in use.
Robust scalability
Manage groups of FileMaker users with reliable security and network performance. FileMaker Server does not restrict the number of networked FileMaker Pro clients. Limits are imposed by your hardware, app design, operating system, or licensing program.
Industry-standard security
Manage user access through external authentication via Active Directory/Open Directory. Use SSL encryption for secure data transfer. And secure your data when hosted on FileMaker Server using powerful AES 256-bit encryption — requires FileMaker Pro Advanced to enable encryption on each app.
Web technology
Use FileMaker WebDirect to run interactive solutions in a web browser — no web programming skills needed. Or use Custom Web Publishing to create custom, data-driven websites using PHP or XML.
ODBC/JDBC support
Use ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) and JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) to read from and write to FileMaker apps hosted by FileMaker Server in conjunction with external programs and development tools. Support up to 50 simultaneous ODBC/JDBC remote connections.
