Linux (POWER platform)

IBM e(logo)server iSeries™ Server (using the IBM® Integrated xSeries® Server
or Linux® PowerPC®)
IBM e(logo)server pSeries
IBM RS/6000 processor machines

Linux (x86 platform)

32-bit platforms:
IBM e(logo)server xSeries or equivalent Intel® based systems2
64-bit platforms:
AMD64, EM64T, or compatible processor machines3

Linux (zSeries platform)

IBM e(logo)server zSeries® 600 or 700 Server

Solaris (SPARC platform)

Sun Microsystems SPARC processor machines

Solaris (x86-64 platform)

Sun Microsystems AMD64, EM64T, or compatible processor machines3

Windows®

Windows x86 technology-compatible PC hardware2+3

z/OS®4

Any server capable of running one of the supported z/OS releases

Notes:
  1. Always check the WebSphere Message Broker Requirements Web site and the readme.html file for the latest information about supported processors.

    A readme file is supplied on the product DVD or CD (for runtime components and for the Message Broker Toolkit), and you can access it from the final panel of the relevant installation program. However, the files are updated occasionally; access the product readmes Web page to check that you have the latest level.

  2. The Message Broker Toolkit is supported on 32-bit systems only. It requires an Intel Pentium® III (or higher) processor-based computer with a processor speed of at least 700 MHz. This specification is the minimum supported level; for improved performance use a 2 GHz processor.

    A minimum display resolution of at least 1024 x 768 is required for some dialogs (for example, the Preferences dialog).

  3. The server must be capable of running a compatible supported operating system, and have enough storage to meet the combined requirements of the WebSphere Message Broker components that you install, and all prerequisite products.
  4. See the Program Directory for WebSphere Message Broker for z/OS or the Program Directory for WebSphere Message Broker with Rules and Formatter for z/OS for further details.
