Supported Platforms
The following table lists the operating systems supported by edgeCore, but in general, edgeCore is supported on any 64-bit platform that can run Java 8 or later. edgeCore is also supported on virtualized environments such as VMware. edgeData and edgeWeb are components that run in edgeCore on the same server.
| Vendor | Platform | Version(s) |
|---|---|---|
| Oracle/Sun Microsystems | Solaris | 10, 11 (SPARC or x86_64) |
| Red Hat Enterprise Linux | Linux | 6, 7, 8, 8.5 (or equivalent for CentOS, Scientific Linux, Oracle Linux, and Amazon Linux) |
| Ubuntu Server | Linux | 14.04 LTS, 16.04 LTS, 18.04 LTS, 20.04 LTS |
| Microsoft | Windows | Server 2008 / R2, Server 2012 / R2 |
System Requirements
Typical system requirements for an Edge-only deployment are listed in the table below.
In addition, you will find examples of system configurations specific to different deployment scenarios such as Dev or Test Lab / Proof of Concept (POC), Network Operations Center (NOC), or Managed Services Providers (MSPs).
| Component | Minimum Requirement (per server) | Dev or Test Lab | Internal Use (NOC, SOC, etc.) | External Use (MSP Customer-Facing) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CPU | Single CPU | 2 CPU cores | 4 CPU cores | 4-8 CPU cores |
| Memory | 4 GB RAM | 4 GB RAM | 8-16 GB RAM | 16-32 GB RAM |
| Storage * | 1 GB disk | 1 GB disk | 2 GB disk | 2 GB disk |
| Operating System | 64 bit O/S | 64 bit O/S | 64 bit O/S | 64 bit O/S |
| Java | Java SE 8 (JRE) installed on edgeCore server Minimum version is Java 1.8.0_20 on this link; As of the 4.4.1 version, Java 11 is required to be able to run edgeCore. |
|||
| Database ** | In-memory H2 database |
* Note: actual storage requirements will depend on implementation, however as edgeData and edgeWeb access data remotely and cached in-memory, storage requirements are low.
** Note: edgeCore, edgeWeb, and edgeData rely on an in-memory H2 database for configuration and temporary data repository. By default, this is not externally available and does not require separate maintenance.
Default Network Ports
| Port | Protocol | Scope/Accessibility | |
|---|---|---|---|
| edgeCore | 8080 | HTTP | edgeCore server via client hosts |
| edgeCore Shutdown Port | 8005 | N/A | localhost |
| embedded H2 database | N/A | JDBC / System File | runs in edgeCore process |
Client Browser Requirements
The edge application suite is an HTML5 application and as such requires a modern standards-compliant browser.
| Vendor | Platform | Version(s) | Minimum Screen Resolution | Plug-ins |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Microsoft | Edge | 12+ | 1024×768 | – None required by default. – Other plug-ins as required by integrated applications via edgeWeb. |
| Mozilla | Firefox | 44+ | 1024×768 | |
| Chrome | 41+ | 1024×768 |
Mobile Client Requirements
The edge application suite is an HTML5 application and as such requires a modern standards compliant browser.
| Vendor | Device | Operating Systems | Additional Requirements |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vendors distributing Android-based devices (Google, HTC, Nexus, Samsung, Sony, etc.) | Various Phones/ Tablets | Android 5.x, 6.x | Chrome browser 41+ is required. |
| Apple | iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch | iOS 9+ |
