WebSphere eXtreme Scale (formerly Data Grid), Version 6.1
             Operating Systems: AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Solaris, Windows


Supported environments

You can install and deploy ObjectGrid in Java™ 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) or Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE) environments.

With ObjectGrid, you can configure an application to run in either a J2EE or J2SE environments. The two main types are core and distributed. A distributed environment contains both a client and a server environment. You can use ObjectGrid as a local instance or as a client to servers with J2EE Version 1.4.2 or later.

If you are using WebSphere® Application Server Version 5.1 or later, you can use the runtime environment of ObjectGrid, but only as a core instance and as a client to servers. If you are using WebSphere Application Server Version 6.0.2 and later, you can use ObjectGrid as a core instance, as a client to ObjectGrid servers, or as a server running within an application server. WebSphere Application Server Version 6.0.2 and later also includes the dynamic topology or catalog service.

[For z/OS operating system] The server runtime environment is not supported with WebSphere Application Server for z/OS due to architectural differences between the two products when running on the z/OS platform. You can, however, successfully run ObjectGrid clients and core grids in a WebSphere Application Server for z/OS environment.

The following table lists the supported environments in which you can install and deploy ObjectGrid.

You are not required to use a specific level of hardware to install and deploy ObjectGrid. The requirements are dependent on the supported hardware for the J2SE installation that you use to run ObjectGrid.

System requirements

You are not required to install and deploy ObjectGrid on a specific operating system level. Each J2SE and J2EE installation includes different required operating system levels or fixes.
