Server and client side should be good. Only issue we've run in to was with needing to keep Safari at 5.0.5 and going up to the new Java made a few applets in our student information system unreliable. We had to stay at 5.0.5 because they use PDF forms to submit information to the database, and until just a few days ago, Adobe didn't support anything above Safari 5.0.5. It's all good now though. We will be testing the setup and getting ready to finally get Safari up to current.

Our biggest concerns were the AVID production workstations...the integrator green flagged the latest Java updates.
