Web Server can be installed on the Solaris, Linux, HP-UX and Windows operating systems. The following table summarizes platform support. For more information about installation requirements, see Required Patches in these release notes.
Web Server runs as a 32-bit application on Windows, Linux, and HP-UX.
Intel Itanium Architecture is not supported.
Minimum required memory for installing Web Server on the specified platforms is applicable when you are installing Web Server as a stand-alone product. If you are installing Web Server as part of Java ES, the minimum required memory might vary. For exact memory requirements, see the Sun Java Enterprise System 5 Release Notes for UNIX.

System virtualization is a technology that enables multiple operating system (OS) instances to execute independently on shared hardware. Functionally, software deployed to an OS hosted in a virtualized environment is generally unaware that the underlying platform has been virtualized. Sun performs testing of its Sun Java System products on select system virtualization and OS combinations to help validate that the Sun Java System products continue to function on properly sized and configured virtualized environments as they do on non-virtualized systems. For information about Sun support for Sun Java System products in virtualized environments, see http://download.oracle.com/820–4651.
