vrealize Business Requirements and 1 Configuration vrealize Business must meet specific hardware, software, and operating system requirements. You can optimize the value of the initial hardware and software investments and provide the option to scale up in the future. This chapter includes the following topics: Software and Hardware requirements, on page 7 Running vrealize Business in a Virtual Environment, on page 9 Software and Hardware requirements Your computer must meet minimum software and hardware requirements to install vrealize Business. vrealize Business is 100% compliant with the J2EE standard. This allows the product to support a wide range of deployment options. vrealize Business can be installed on a Windows server and on a Linux-UNIX server such as Oracle Solaris, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS. In turn, this ability of vrealize Business to be deployed on a wide range of platforms ensures it fits rigorous enterprise requirements. To ensure optimum performance, you must deploy the database server on one computer and the application server on an another computer for vrealize Business installation. The hardware and software requirements varies based on the purpose of the computer for installing the database server, for deploying the application server or for end user access. The vrealize Business deployment includes a database server and an application server. Both components of vrealize Business can run on a single computer but this approach is costlier, because a single computer requires more number of CPUs to run both the database and the application server. You pay for the database license per CPU. If you have a site license for the database management software, you can use a single computer to run both database and application servers. In a production environment the system needs a server for the database and a separate server for the application server. System requirements for production environments are higher from those for development environments. Table 1 1.

For the UNIX, Linux, or 64-bit Windows operating systems, install the appropriate JDK 7u76 before running the vrealize Business installer. NOTE Verify that you are using the latest JDK 1.7 version. Any JDK that is not provided by VMware must be updated by using the most updated TZUpdater tool from the Oracle website. The vrealize Business installer can use up to latest JRE 7.0 version. One of the following Oracle database clients: 11.2.0.3 11.2.0.4 12.1.0.1 12.1.0.2 Some examples of models for production database servers are IBM System x3850, Dell PowerEdge 2950. NOTE Application servers and database servers can run on a VMware virtual environment as well as on the physical configurations. When you create a virtual environment, use the virtual equivalent of the guidelines in these sections. vrealize Business application server needs to be in the same LAN as the database server in order to get the best performance. 8 VMware, Inc.

Recommended End User Requirements Hardware or Software Component CPU RAM Environment 2GHz Dual Core 2GB Web browser For vrealize Business, use Internet Explorer 8.0.x, 9.0.x, 10 and 11 and Firefox 31.x or Chrome 38.x. For the Designer, use Internet Explorer 8.0.x, 9.0.x, 10 and 11. For viewing dashboards and reports on the ipad, use Safari 5.1.x or 6.0.x. For vrealize Business SaaS Management, use Internet Explorer 9, 10, 11 and Firefox 31.x or Chrome 38.x. Running vrealize Business in a Virtual Environment Application servers and database servers can run in a VMware virtual environment also. Application servers and database servers can run in a VMware virtual environment as well as on the physical configurations described in Software and Hardware requirements, on page 7. When you create a virtual environment, ensure that it conforms to the requirements provided for the production environment. VMware, Inc. 9
