Chapter 3. Platform Requirements
3.1. Java Requirements
The definitive list of supported Java environments is available from https://access.redhat.com/site/articles/119833.
JBoss Portal requires a working Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.6 or 1.7 installation. Both 32-bit and 64-bit JDKs are supported.
3.2. Hardware Requirements
To install Red Hat JBoss Portal (JBoss Portal) requires at least 550 MB of available storage. The mandatory Java Development Kit (JDK) requires another 150 MB
To run JBoss Portal, the minimum operating requirements are:
- Disk space: 1.5 GB
- This includes the 700 MB required for a base install, including JDK; 500 MB for the server log file (the default configuration for the log file); and 330 MB for deployed JBoss applications.
- CPU: 1 GHz Intel Pentium Processor
- Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core 2 Quad and Intel Xeon CPUs improve server performance for high demand applications.
- RAM: 1.5 GB
- This is the bare minimum required to run JBoss Portal.To deploy and run small to medium applications, 2 GB or more is required.4 GB or more is recommended to run larger applications, or to run a server managed via a Graphical User Interface (GUI).
Specific information on supported JBoss Portal technology combinations is available in the Supported Configuration resource, located at https://access.redhat.com/site/articles/119833.
3.3. Operational Requirements
As the minimum requirements note, multiple factors affect the server hardware required to effectively support the Red Hat JBoss Portal (JBoss Portal).
Broadly considered, JBoss Portal server performance is tied to three distinct but related attributes: the deployed applications; the client load; and the server configuration. Specific factors to consider include:
- application size.
- application complexity.
- client numbers.
- client request frequency.
- log file size.
- post-installation server tuning and configuration.
