Supported Platforms for GigaSpaces 6.5.X and 6.6.X

Navigate to the required category:

Overview

GigaSpaces Data Grid and Messaging Grid core middleware, Database Cache and Persistency, Service Grid and OpenSpaces are 100% Java technology based.

You can run GigaSpaces on every operating system that supports the Java Platform Standard Edition technology – i.e., Windows , Linux x86, Linux AMD64 (Opteron), Sun Solaris, Hewlett Packard HP-UX, IBM AIX, Apple Mac OS/X, etc.

The list below represents only the platforms that have been tested by GigaSpaces.

GigaSpaces components (space, cluster of spaces, Processing Unit, GSM, GSC, LUS, Mahalo, GUI, CLI) can run only with the same GigaSpaces JARs (i.e., the same version and build number).

Mixing GigaSpaces Versions

The following is supported:
Applications built using 6.5.X run without any code changes on a clean 6.6.X installation.

The following is not supported:
Mixing clients/servers from different GigaSpaces Major Releases - Clients of 6.5.X do not run against 6.6.X servers. 6.6.X clients do not run against 6.5.X servers. 6.5.X servers do not communicate well with 6.6.X servers etc.

Mixing JDK Environments and GigaSpaces JARs

If you have GigaSpaces running with JDK 1.4 and another installation of GigaSpaces running with JDK 1.5/1.6, use the GigaSpaces JAR files from the earliest version – copy the JSpaces.jar and JSpaces-ui.jar files from the <GigaSpaces Root>\lib directory of your GigaSpaces 1.4 installation to the <GigaSpaces Root>\lib directory of your GigaSpaces 1.5/1.6 installation.
