The Netezza Performance Server client kits are designed to run on the proprietary hardware architecture for the vendor. For example, the AIX, HP-UX, and Solaris clients are intended for the proprietary RISC architecture. The Linux client is intended for RedHat or SUSE on the 32-bit Intel architecture.

Note: Typically, the Netezza Performance Server clients also support the update releases for each of the OS versions listed in the table, unless the OS vendor introduced architecture changes in the update.
