Operating Systems / Databases

  • 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).
  • All WSO2 Carbon-based products are generally compatible with most-common DBMSs such as MySQL, MS SQL Server, Oracle, H2, DB2, Derby, PostgreSQL.  
  • For environments that WSO2 products are tested with, see Environments Tested with WSO2 Products.
