FileMaker Server 9

Share your databases with ease

FileMaker Pro has outstanding peer-to-peer sharing built right in. So why add a server? There are three key reasons: expanded availability, enhanced security and increased performance.

Simply install FileMaker Server software on a dedicated computer and upload your FileMaker Pro databases to the server. You and your team will instantly realize how fast and easy it is to access your databases 24/7, schedule automated backups, and find information and much more!

Whether you have a team of two or a department of hundreds, FileMaker Server makes it effortless to securely share your FileMaker Pro databases with Windows and Mac OS users on your network or over the Web.

Which one is right for you?

There are two versions of FileMaker server software. FileMaker Server lets you share your databases with unrivaled availability, security, and performance, over the network or on your website. But if you want up to 100 simultaneous users to access a database that has been published using Instant Web Publishing or if you want to use an ODBC or JDBC client to submit SQL queries or statements to a FileMaker Pro database, you’ll want FileMaker Server 9 Advanced.

Use the chart below to decide which one is right for you.
