## Supported Configurations

The following sections describe the base system requirements for Oracle Communications Services Gatekeeper.

### Overview of the Oracle Communications Services Gatekeeper Base platform

Below is a summary of the operating systems and hardware platforms for Oracle Communications Services Gatekeeper:

- HP-UX 11.23 on Intel Itanium2
- Linux Redhat AS4 on x86
- Solaris 9 or Solaris 10 on Sun UltraSPARC

The next sections describe the configuration requirements for access tier, network tier and database tier servers. For a description of the different tiers, see the Deployment section of “Software Architecture Overview” in Concepts and Architectural Overview, another document in this set.

### Common configuration requirements

All servers in the cluster building up Oracle Communications Services Gatekeeper must be dedicated servers.

The directory in which the software is installed must reside on the server’s local file system.

There must be at least 1 GB of diskspace available under /user/local.
