Supported Platforms and System Requirements

Informatica Address Verification is supported on a number of hardware and software platforms. The system resource requirements for Address Verification vary according to your requirements.

Supported Platforms

Address Verification is developed using the
C++
programming language. Address Verification provides different software packages to suit the hardware and software environment in which you install Address Verification. The Address Verification software packages contain C and Java based APIs.
Informatica Address Verification documentation contains examples based on the
C and Java interface
of Address Verification. You can model Address Verification implementations for other languages, such as
C++
,
C#
,
VB.Net
, PHP, Perl, Ruby, and Python, on these examples. Informatica provides technical support for the C and Java APIs. Informatica does not provide implementation-specific support.
You must install a Java Development Kit on the machine that hosts the Address Verification engine.
If you install Address Verification on an AIX machine, install IBM Java 8 or later. If you install Address Verification on a Solaris machine, install Oracle Java SE 8 or later. If you install on other platforms, install OpenJDK version 8.
You can install Address Verification on machines with the following configurations:
Operating System
Processor Architecture
Windows Server 2019
x64 (64-bit)
Windows Server 2016
x64 (64-bit)
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15
x64 (64-bit)
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12
x64 (64-bit)
RedHat Enterprise Linux 8
x64 (64-bit)
RedHat Enterprise Linux 7
x64 (64-bit)
AIX 7
x64 (64-bit)

System Requirements

Address Verification is designed to be highly efficient in its memory and resource usage. To ensure best possible performance, install Address Verification on a device that has fast input and output systems and sufficient memory.
The device on which you install Address Verification should have a minimum of 512 MB RAM.
Before you finalize the memory requirements, consider the size of the reference address databases that you require. The complete set of worldwide postal reference databases, including supplementary databases for address enrichments, consumes approximately 55 GB of storage space.
Preloading databases into memory significantly improves the performance of Address Verification. The device on which you install Address Verification must have sufficient RAM to preload the databases that you require.
As the total size of the worldwide databases is approximately 55 GB, the RAM required to preload all databases and perform address processing is approximately 60 GB. For smaller file sizes, less RAM is required. For example, the worldwide batch and interactive databases consume approximately 9 GB of space, and the geocoding databases consume an additional 11 GB. To preload and run the worldwide batch, interactive, and geocoding databases, 20 GB to 25 GB of RAM is necessary.
If fully preloading databases is not an option, use solid-state drives to store the reference address databases. Solid-state drives are faster than hard-disk drives and can significantly improve performance, especially when multithreading is used.
You set the database preloading method in the
SetConfig.xml
file. For more information on database preload settings, see the
Address Verification On-Premises Developer Guide
