In this movie, we will discuss the most important New Features in FileMaker Server 12. Server 12 builds on the features that were introduced with versions 9, 10 and 11 and expands them in a significant way. We have more features both in the Admin Console and in the way FileMaker Server 12 works under the hood. A significant rewrite of it's architecture, WAN or Wide Area Network performance and also a rewrite in the Web Publishing Engine. FileMaker Server and Server Advanced are supported on these operating systems. The major changes here are that 64-bit platforms are now not only supported but FileMaker Server can actually make use the 64-bit architecture. Mainly pushed by the growing use of FileMaker Go on the iPad and iPhone on 3G Networks, FileMaker Server 12 has highly tweaked the WAN performance or the Wide Area Network performance. Meaning faster data retrieval as FileMaker Server 12 sends less data across the network with less round trips. For example when you search for data in a field formatted as a Value List in FileMaker Pro, FileMaker Server 12 sends back just the data that you are looking for, not the entire contents of the field. The Admin Console now allows us to view the important metrics in a graph right there on the Statistics Page. We've always been able to see the static snapshot of what is happening on the server with all of the Statistics Counters. But now we can easily see how it evolves over time. And as we can do it right from the Admin Console we can do it from any remote workstation. The Admin Console can be used to upload FileMaker Files from a workstation to the FileMaker Server. And that's a, a great feature, it has been around for a little bit now. It's especially a great feature since it takes care of those pesky OS X Permissions. Now in FileMaker Server 12 we can also download files from the server to a workstation through the Admin Console.
