OS X Server

Product Overview

By deploying Software Update Server, administrators can control how and when

client computers download software, enabling access to approved software updates

only. This prevents users from selecting software that’s unsuitable for the organization.

At the same time, a local software update server streamlines network use, saving

the cost of multiple downloads of the same update and reducing unnecessary

bandwidth consumption.

Automatically Download Updates and Cache Them Locally

Software Update Server acts as a proxy for software updates for OS X. This caching

server allows administrators to control when and how software updates become

available for users’ systems. Software Update Server is capable of automatically

mirroring updates between the Apple software update server and your local server

to guarantee that the most current updates are immediately available.
