Operating Systems / Databases / Application Servers

  • As all WSO2 Carbon-based products are Java applications, it is generally possible to run them on most operating systems. These include Windows, Linux, Solaris, Ubuntu, Fedora, Mac OS X, Gentoo, SUSE, Debian etc. with a JDK 1.6.x runtime.
  • However, Linux/Solaris is recommended for a production deployment of WSO2 BAM since Hadoop (used for analytics engine in BAM) is not recommended to be run in Windows based systems in production settings. (http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/r0.20.2/quickstart.html#PreReqs)
    For detailed information on the Operating Systems, Databases and Application Servers each WSO2 product is compatible with, refer to the following WIKI space: Environments Tested with WSO2 Products..
  • All WSO2 Carbon-based products are generally compatible with most-common DBMSs such as MySQL, MS SQL Server, Oracle, H2, DB2, Derby, PostgreSQL.
