What is required to share databases across multiple computers?
Panorama 5.5 (and Panorama Direct 5.5) can connect with a Panorama Enterprise Server to share databases across multiple computers. This means that multiple users can access the same databases simultaneously, with full record locking. This users sharing the databases can be on Mac or PC systems, or both at the same time. Although the client software works on both Mac’s and PC’s, at this time the server software works only on a Macintosh. If you’ve never used a Mac before the setup is normally quite easy, and detailed step-by-step instruction are provided. For most applications a low-cost Mac Mini provides more than enough performance, in fact, even a used PPC Mac Mini will work great (currently available for between $100 and $200 on eBay and Craigslist).
