Deploy anywhere you want — using macOS, Windows, or Linux. Either self-hosted or to your own custom cloud.
Protect your data with Apple-security. AES-256 encryption, OAuth 2.0, Active Directory Integration, and more.
See everything, manage everyone. The admin console makes sense, so you spend time building instead of fixing.
Set your backups and get 24/7 monitoring. Your business keeps moving, even when you’re not around.
Your business shouldn't have to stop — not for a hardware failure, an outage, or anything.
FileMaker Server 2026 includes two add-on services that handle backups and failover automatically.
No scripts to write. No infrastructure to manage. Just your team's work, uninterrupted.
Out of sight, out of mind — in the best way. Your data backs up automatically to Claris-managed cloud storage. No third-party tools. No manual setup. If something goes wrong, you know your data is safe and ready to restore.
Think of it as a backup plan for your backup plan. Standby Server stays quietly in sync with your primary at all times. If the primary server fails, you can switch over in minutes — and most of your team won't even notice.
These two services are built to work hand in hand with Claris handling the heavy lifting. If Standby Server kicks in, Remote Backup keeps running on its own. Continuous protection, zero extra effort.
Companies of all sizes count on FileMaker Server to keep their data safe and their work moving.
FileMaker is a game-changer—for business owners and operators alike. You can run your day-to-day business operations on an application customized to your business at a fraction of the price of enterprise platforms.
Every business is different. Whether you want full control, the flexibility of the cloud, or a partner to handle it all, there's a hosting option that works for how you work.
