Hardware requirements

It is recommended that you run InterChange Server on a dedicated computer. You should restrict access to the computer to maintain security.

Some suggested minimum requirements are listed in Table 1 for AIX, Table 2 for Solaris, Table 3 for HP-UX, Table 4 for Red Hat and SuSE Linux. However, the actual hardware requirements for your system might be different, depending on the complexity of your specific environment, throughput, and the size of the business objects processed by the system. Also, the following information is for the InterChange Server system only. If you choose to run other applications on the same system, you must make adjustments accordingly.

Table 1. AIX hardware requirements

Component Minimum required
Computer pSeries(R) 610 6E1 class or equivalent
Processor 375 MHz IBM POWER3(TM)-II
Memory 512 MB main memory
Disk space: InterChange Server, databases, and supporting software
40 GB
Additional High-Availability Requirements
  • Dual 600 MHz 7026-6H1
  • 2 GB main memory
  • 4 x 36 GB disks for both systems


Table 2. Solaris hardware requirements

Component Minimum required
Computer SunFire V120 class or equivalent
Processor 450 MHz UltraSPARC-II module with 2 MB external cache
Memory 512 MB main memory
Disk space: InterChange Server, databases, and supporting software
40 GB
Additional High-Availability Requirements
  • 400(R) MHz Enterprise 250
  • 512 MB main memory
  • 4 x 18 GB disks for both systems


Table 3. HP-UX hardware requirements

Component Minimum required
Computer HP9000 PA-RISC
Processor 440 MHz
Memory 512 MB main memory
Disk space: InterChange Server, databases, and supporting software
40 GB


Table 4. Red Hat or SuSE Linux hardware requirements

Component Minimum required
Computer IBM eServer(TM) xSeries(R) or equivalent
Processor Intel(TM) Pentium(R) (R) III 1GHz
Memory 512 MB
Disk space: InterChange Server, databases, and supporting software
40 GB

Note:
Table 1, Table 2, Table 3, and Table 4 list the hardware requirements for the UNIX machine that runs InterChange Server. To use System Manager (as well as other WebSphere business integration system tools), you also need to have at least one Microsoft Windows client machine.
