Product requirements
IBM Maximo 7.1 Minimum Hardware and Software Requirements:
IBM® Maximo® uses an n-Tier architecture, which lets you deploy Maximo across one or more tiers. You can run Maximo on a single physical server or across multiple servers depending on the number of concurrent users and the hardware.
Maximo requires workstations and servers in each tier of a Maximo system configuration to have the following minimum hardware and software:
Client Workstation:
This is the workstation where end users access and work with Maximo.
| Hardware | Software |
|---|---|
| Intel® based processor | Microsoft® Windows 2000, XP or Windows Vista |
| 1 GB RAM | Microsoft® Internet Explorer® 6 or 7 browser |
| SVGA 1024 x 768 resolution | Adobe® Acrobat® Reader® 6.0 or 7.0 |
| - |
Note: The Maximo Workflow Designer requires a Java™ Runtime Environment (currently supported are JRE® 1.4.2 through JRE 1.5). The Workflow Designer checks for the JRE on the administrative workstation. If it does not find the JRE, Workflow Designer prompts you to install JRE 1.4.2-b28. |
Administrative Workstation:
The system administrator workstation is where you install the Maximo application and build the EAR files before deploying them.
| Hardware | Software |
|---|---|
| Intel® based processor | Microsoft® Windows XP or Vista |
| 1 GB RAM | Microsoft® Internet Explorer® 6 or 7 browser |
| SVGA 1024 x 768 resolution | Adobe® Acrobat® Reader® 6.0 or 7.0 |
Application Server:
The server where you install the IBM WebSphere or the BEA WebLogic Application Server and typically, where you deploy Maximo EAR files.
| Hardware | Software |
|---|---|
| 2-4 dedicated processors | Microsoft® Windows Server 2003 (32-bit and 64-bit) |
| 2 GB RAM per processor | IBM AIX® 5.3 (32-bit and 64-bit) |
| 1.5 GB (or greater) disk space for Maximo and the Java/Web Server components | Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® 4 (32-bit and 64-bit) |
| - |
Sun® Solaris® 9 or Sun Solaris 10 (SPARC processor-based systems Note: You cannot use the Sun Solaris operating systems if you are running Maximo 7.1 on an IBM DB2® Universal Database. IBM WebSphere® 6.1.0.13 (provided by IBM Corporation) BEA WebLogic® Server 9.2.2 (provided by the vendor) |
