Open Directory lets you manage directory data centrally, but distribute it geographically using replication.

Other enterprise-level services might include Domain Name System (DNS), Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), Virtual Private Network (VPN), mail, web, streaming, and JBoss.

JBoss is an application server that implements the Enterprise Edition (J2EE) technologies; JBoss runs on Java 1.4.1. The Mac OS X Server implementation includes easy-to-use administration tools to help you configure and monitor the application servers. Because of its clustering capabilities, JBoss might be run on several Xserves.
