Extensis Universal Type Server: Font management for workgroups
Another product announced at Macworld Expo, Extensis Universal Type Server, is now shipping.

Migration paths are available for users of Font Reserve Server or Suitcase Server. The Lite package is available for $1395 directly from Extensis, but you'll want to contact a reseller for the Professional version. If you want to kick the tires before you buy, you can download 30-day free trials for both Pro and Lite.
