platform

The platform or platforms that host your PRPC system are identified by a combination of supporting software:

• An operating system, such as Microsoft Windows or Novell SUSE Linux
• An application server, such as Apache Tomcat, IBM WebSphere®, or JBoss®
• A database engine that hosts the PegaRULES database, such as Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server

Because PRPC is based on industry standards — application servers, Java, SQL databases, XML, and HTML — it can operate in a wide range of vendor hardware and software platforms. This can allow your organization to mix-and-match your preferred choices of hardware vendor, operating system, database vendor, and other components.

While major aspects of PRPC are platform-independent, many details differ because of platform limitations and feature differences. Pegasystems Inc. continually tests, recommends, and supports specific platform combinations. Consult the Platform Support Guide, available on the PDN, for the latest information.
