2 System Requirements

This chapter describes software and hardware requirements for Oracle Communications Converged Application Server.

Supported Configurations

Converged Application Server is supported for production use on the operating system, hardware, and Java Virtual Machine (JVM) combinations shown in Table 2-1. The JVM version should be 1.6 or higher.

Note:

Production deployment is supported only for Linux and UNIX platforms. Windows platforms are supported only for development purposes.

Converged Application Server has similar requirements to Oracle WebLogic Server 11g Release 1. The following items are required in addition to the basic WebLogic Server requirements:

• Gigabit Ethernet connections are required between engine and SIP data tier servers for most production deployments.

• Dual network interface cards (NICs) are required to provide fail-over capabilities in a production environment.

• Additional RAM is required to support the throughput requirements of most production installations.

• A load balancer is required for production installations.

SIP Clients

Any standards-compliant SIP User Agent can be used.

Load Balancers

Converged Application Server has a built-in load balancer, the Converged Load Balancer. See Converged Application Server Administrator's Guide.

It can also be used with the following load balancers:

• F5 Networks, Inc. BIG-IP load balancer, versions 9.0.5 through 9.2.3 Build 34.3.

• Nortel Networks Alteon 2424 Application Switch with software release 22.0.3.

• Radware Application Switch 2 with software version 1.01.01, hardware version 1.10.

See the Oracle Technology Network for information about support for other load balancer solutions.
