With Apple disrupting the entire desktop operating system business by releasing OS X Mavericks for free, there is still at least one Mac operating system that Apple is still selling. Even more curiously, it’s a variant on OS X Mavericks… OS X Server for Mavericks.
Available for $19.99 from the Mac App Store, OS X Server runs like an app on top of Mavericks.
Here’s some of what you get: server-strength file sharing, email service, contact, calendar and database publishing, support for PostgreSQL for SQL databases, Apache web server access and much, much more.
New to OS X Server for Mavericks, though, is Xcode Server, which makes it easier to use OS X Server as a developer as part of a work group. There’s also a new caching server that speeds up delivery of software distrubuted over Mavericks Server from the App Store, Mac App Stpre and iTunes. Profile Manager also got an overhaul, which simplifies the delivery of apps and books.
You can purchase OS X Server for Mavericks from the link below.
