Freedom of choice is a major objective for Alfresco, allowing companies to decide which supporting technologies and platforms to use when deploying an Alfresco Enterprise Edition content management solution. While the Community Edition is validated against a single system running an Open Source stack the Enterprise Edition is tested and QA’ed against a combination of different technologies – both Open Source and proprietary.
Alfresco Enterprise Edition is currently tested on combinations of the following technologies:
- OS – Linux, Windows, Solaris
- Data Base – MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, MSSQL Server, DB2
- Application Server – Tomcat, JBoss, Oracle, Weblogic, Websphere
- Authentication – Alfresco, OpenLDAP, NTLM, Sun One Directory Server, Active Directory, Kerberos, JASS
- Browser – Firefox, IE, Safari

Bottom Line: Alfresco provides freedom of choice – allowing companies to decide on which technology platforms to deploy
