Last Modified: August 29, 2019
IBM Informix runs on most systems that have a UNIX, Linux, or Windows operating system, as well as the Mac OS X operating system.
Minimum disk space and memory requirements:
- UNIX and Linux: 750 MB of disk space and 256 MB of memory.
- Mac OS X: 750 MB of disk space and 512 MB of memory.
- Windows: 600 MB of disk space and 256 MB of memory.
Many applications require substantially larger systems. Your IBM sales team can help optimize the hardware required for your application.
Related system requirements:
- System requirements for Informix Warehouse Accelerator
