It lists all Final Cut Server requirements.
Final Cut Server is a very complex software despite its low cost, so I would recommend you to read
Drew Tucker's book first.

KCBS in Los Angeles used it and talked about it publicly:

Apple created a promo video for it as well:

The book mentioned above is very helpful, but if you can hire someone with experience to get you started you'll be most successful.
