PART I
Getting Lion Server Up and Running
In this part...
Lion Server is an amazingly versatile and scalable solution, serving a small workgroup or acting as part of an integrated network of thousands of users. So it may not be surprising that the process of getting it up and running can involve vastly different software and hardware configurations.
This part describes the many different services available to your users and the hardware the server runs on, from the little Mac mini to the beefy Mac Pro, and how to pick the best Mac model for your use of the server.
Lion Server offers several possibilities of installation, depending on your use. This part shows you how to get ready for your installation and how to install it in different scenarios.
This part also gives you another installation option: virtualization. This technique lets you set up a test server without needing to dedicate a Mac to the purpose. Virtualization also enables you to run multiple instances of Lion Server on one Mac. You can even run Lion Server and Windows Server on the same Mac.
