Operating System	Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 or 6, 64-bit, or Windows 2008 (64-bit) All Feature Servers in your environment must run on either Linux or Windows. You cannot mix Linux and Windows machines. If you are running RHEL 6, you must: Install all RHEL 6 compatibility packages Create a symbolic link for libcurl.so.3 (64-bit only): cd /usr/lib64 ln -s /usr/lib64/libcurl.so.4.1.1 ./libcurl.so.3 If you are running RHEL 5, you must also install the C++ compatibility library (compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-61.i386.rpm)

Runtime Environment	Java Runtime Environment (JRE) v1.7 or above, 64-bit

Genesys Voice Platform components: Resource Manager and Media Control Platform. See the Genesys Voice Platform Deployment Guide. A SIP Server instance for managing agents.
