Simplified FileMaker Pro setup with VPN-based remote access
As such, VPN isn’t the most optimized mechanism to access FileMaker databases. On the company LAN this typically is no issue, but when these remote & teleworkers are connected via VPN this does consume a lot of bandwidth. One of the typical characteristics of FileMaker, is that when working in the client, all required data is downloaded to the local client, not just the query results. Today, FileMaker Pro is available on prem and as a cloud version (FileMaker Cloud).Ī typical deployment will have databases, the FileMaker Server (Advanced) and the FileMaker Pro clients running on end-user devices (app developers). FileMaker was initially introduced on the market as an MS-DOS based program (in the 80’s), but quickly made the shift to Macintosh. It integrates an database engine with a graphical user interface and security features, allowing users to modify the database by dragging new elements into layouts, screens or forms. FileMaker Pro is a cross-platform relational database application from Claris International, an subsidiary of Apple Inc.
