That page contains important information about all client and server software requirements for Confluence 4.0 Server Software RequirementsPlease read the following additional information regarding server software requirements for Confluence. Operating SystemsIf you would like to run Confluence on VMware, please read our Running Confluence in a Virtualised Environment document first.
Application ServersAtlassian supports the application servers listed on the Supported Platforms page, provided they are running on Windows, Linux, or Solaris. If you are using earlier, or other, application servers, we may ask you to migrate to one of the supported application servers before we can provide you with further support. If you have no preference for a particular application server and wish to set up Confluence for production purposes, we highly recommend installing Confluence Standalone, which includes the Apache Tomcat application server. DatabasesAtlassian supports the databases listed on the Supported Platforms page, provided they are running on Windows, Linux, or Solaris. If you have no preference for a particular database and wish to set up Confluence for production purposes, we highly recommend using PostgreSQL. This is a scalable, robust and free database server that is also easy to set up. For database setup information, please refer to Database Setup For Any External Database.

Confluence Hardware RequirementsPlease be aware that while some of our customers run Confluence on SPARC-based hardware, Atlassian only officially supports Confluence running on x86 hardware and 64-bit derivatives of x86 hardware. See Server Hardware Requirements Guide for details. Refer also to the tips on reducing out of memory errors, in particular the section on Permanent Generation Size. Atlassian Hosted SolutionsIf you do not have the resources to set up and maintain a Confluence installation locally, consider Atlassian hosted solutions. Atlassian can run and maintain your own installation of Confluence, handling all the testing, monitoring and upgrading processes for you. For more information, please refer to our Confluence Hosted and our integrated JIRA Studio solutions on our website. Related TopicsEnd of Support Announcements for Confluence |
