Supported Operating Systems

intelligent Workload Distribution Servers Support

Notes:

• For Microsoft products with sub-versions such as R1/R2, all versions are supported except as noted for the specific product.
• For Solaris SPARC, an asterisk (*) indicates the oldest operating systems supported for the Genesys 7.x and Genesys 8.x Maintenance Interoperable Components, including AIX Power PC, HP-UX, and Solaris SPARC.
• Genesys supports use of products on Oracle Linux, provided that the Oracle Linux distribution is 100% compatible with a Genesys-supported Red Hat distribution, and that the Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel is not used. Genesys will only support Oracle Linux based on testing and reproduction of any issues in the equivalent Red Hat Linux version; no investigation or testing will be performed on Oracle Linux itself. Support only applies to Oracle Linux versions 5.x and later.
