Neo4J for IBM LinuxOne (Z) Platform

Hi guys

Curious.

Is Neo4J available on the IBM LinuxOne platform.

Basically Ubuntu on the IBM Z Processor.
Browsing, not seeing, where can I find certified/support deployment environments.

System requirements - Operations Manual describes System Requirements of which LinuxOne is not listed.

Will it work ? maybe? but you on unchartered territory

Do we test against it. No

dammmm :frowning:

Bank in question run all their systems on 2 LinuxONE’s self hosted at a secure data center.

They have no Data with any cloud provider so even a Neo4J as a Service out of one of the Cloud providers is unlikely to be considered.

sure but we do support a on-prem install running Ubuntu, RHel, SuSe, Windows

… Issue is the lack of support on LinuxOne. They' can’t run on a non supported platform, they previously had to migrate a db store when the vendor decided to depreciate Ubuntu as a supported OS on Z for the DB in question.

Considering the cost of these Machines can’t simply say we will get other hardware, especially when the platform have more than enough spare horse power.

Makes for difficult “sell”. They saw one of my blogs and are all grinning, wanting the capability.

Understand running on Ubuntu on Intel is compiled for the X86_64 chip.

Running on a IBM Linux One is where Ubuntu, RedHat and Suse has specifically been compiled for that processor/architecture.

Then. we might have a get out of jail here… Java is normally cross platform, other words as long as there is a compliant jam running then any/all jar files should work,

That at least means work/not work… but then the certified/compliant/supported subject gets into the room and legal and risk gets sticky.

would/should/could….we once had a user running on Solaris.. it did work for the most part, except some SSL library was different on Solaris as opposed to the other platforms. And thus we spent a lot of time chasing this Solaris only issue since we were not officially support Solaris.

So yes maybe ??? maybe it will work ? but certainly unchartered territory
