About FileMaker Server
FileMaker Server is a dedicated database server that opens FileMaker Pro files, makes them available to clients on your network, and publishes FileMaker data in web pages or to other applications supported by the FileMaker Server Web Publishing Engine and the FileMaker Data API Engine.
FileMaker Server Admin Console
FileMaker Server Admin Console is a web application that lets you configure and administer FileMaker Server; work with, monitor, and share data from hosted databases; and manage connected clients.
You can run Admin Console on the same machine where FileMaker Server is running or on almost any machine that has network access to FileMaker Server. See Starting Admin Console.
