By moving various tasks to the server, you can improve performance.
Perform searches and calculations faster
The server automatically performs certain searches and calculations on the server instead of the local client. This decreases the time required to provide a result, so you can work faster and minimize disruption to your users.
Schedule scripts to run automatically
Now, many scripts can be scheduled to run on the server.* Scripts that clean data, such as scripts that remove duplicate records or format address and phone data, can be scheduled to run on the server. Server-side scripts, as well as backups, can be scheduled to run at off-peak hours.
Take advantage of speedy hardware
If you install FileMaker Server on a computer that has large amounts of RAM, sophisticated caching, or high-performance disk storage, your performance will be improved. See Tech Specs for details.
