8.8 Matrix

Core Server

The Core Server is not supported on a 64 bit platform.

64 bit is supported. In fact, it is recommended that when the database server is separate (any time the node count is over 1000 nodes) the database server run on a separate 64 bit server.

 

Remote 32 bit Console

The Remote 32 bit Console is not supported on a 64 bit platform.

Agent Installation - Just to be clear, I have confirmed from LANDesk support that Intel Itanium x64 is not supported for a few components, specifically Patching. Inventory works though and we have not tested any of the other components for LANDesk.

It might be of interest to include the 64 bits UNIX/LINUX platforms supported
