Virtualization

Services Gatekeeper is deployable and certified on Solaris Zones virtualized environment. For information about Solaris virtualization, see:

http://www.oracle.com/us/products/servers-storage/solaris/virtualization-066073.html

Services Gatekeeper is also deployable and certified on Oracle VM. For information about Oracle virtualization, see:

http://www.oracle.com/us/technologies/virtualization/oraclevm/061976.html

Load Balancer and Tier 3 Switches

Per customer preference.

Firewall

Required for a secure production deployment. See Oracle Communications Services Gatekeeper Deployment Guide for examples showing where to place firewalls and Oracle Communications Services Gatekeeper Security Guide for a discussion of when to use firewalls.

Disc Storage

While disc storage can be an ordinary disk system, for performance and high availability reasons, a RAID system should be used.

Parlay X

Services Gatekeeper supports Parlay X Version 2.1 and Parlay X Version 3.0. For details, see the descriptions of the individual communications service in Oracle Communications Services Gatekeeper Communication Services Guide, another document in this set.

SNMP

Services Gatekeeper supports SNMPv1 and SNMPv2.
