Have a read through some of the descriptions provided by Apple regarding the core services offered on the Mac OS X Server platform.

Mac + Windows Filesharing

Mac OS X Server makes it easy to share folders and exchange files between Mac and PC systems without the installation of additional software. Productivity is greatly enhanced when users store work in centralized folders rather than on individual computers. With centralized file storage, all users have access to the same up-to-the-minute file. Since a single version resides on the server, there won't be any confusion about multiple versions of the same document. And users won't need to worry about losing important data in the event of a system failure or a lost or stolen laptop. The file is always safe on the server.

Built In Firewall and Secure Networking over VPN

A firewall is built into Mac OS X Server, making it easy to restrict access and block unwanted communications to your server. With just a few clicks, we can prevent connections outside your network from accessing services on your server. The enterprise-class firewall scans incoming IP packets and rejects or accepts them based on filters. Virtual private network (VPN) access enables your users to take advantage of network services while they're offsite and simultaneously prevents access by unauthorized individuals. Mac OS X Server supports standards-based L2TP/IPSec and PPTP tunneling protocols to provide encrypted VPN connections for Mac and Windows systems - and even iPhone and iPad.

Centralized Computer & User Management via Open Directory

Workgroup Manager simplifies Macintosh system administration by providing centralized directory-based management of users, groups, and computers across your organization. For example, you can create standardized desktop configurations, set preferences, and establish password policies, as well as control access to hardware, software, and network resources.
