System Requirements

Overview

This topic provides the system requirements for the Oracle API Gateway, and specific requirements for other components. For more details on API Gateway components, see the Oracle API Gateway User Guide.

Operating System Requirements

This section describes the operating system requirements for the API Gateway:

Platform Supported Versions Hardware Prerequisites
Windows
  • Windows Server 2008 SP1+

  • Windows Server 2003 R2+

  • Windows Server 2003 SP2

  • Windows XP SP2+

  • Supports 32-bit and 64-bit hardware (Win32 mode when running on 64-bit hardware)

  • Intel Core or AMD Opteron at 2Ghz with Dual Core or faster

  • Minimum 2 GB free disk space, 50 GB recommended

  • Minimum 4 GB physical memory

Solaris
  • Solaris 10 Update 4+

  • Supports 32-bit Solaris running on 32-bit hardware only

  • Solaris compatible SPARC processor at 440 MHz, or faster

  • Minimum 2 GB free disk space, 50 GB recommended
  • Minimum 4 GB physical memory

Linux
  • Oracle Linux 5 (UL3+)

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (UL3+)

  • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (all SP levels)

Oracle software may not run on systems that do not meet these requirements (see Important below).
  • Supports 32-bit and 64-bit Linux running on 32-bit and 64-bit hardware respectively

  • Intel Core or AMD Opteron at 2Ghz with Dual Core or faster—i386 or x86_64 (32-bit or 64-bit)

  • Minimum 2 GB free disk space, 50 GB recommended

  • Minimum 4 GB physical memory


[Important] Important

When new Linux kernels and distributions are released, Oracle modifies and tests its products for stability and reliability on these platforms. Oracle makes every effort to add support for new kernels and distributions in a timely manner. However, until a kernel or distribution is added to this list, its use with Oracle products is not supported. Oracle endeavors to support any generally popular Linux distribution on a release that the vendor still supports.
