Installation (software-only)

The software-only version of FortiDB allows you to install FortiDB on hardware that you provide.

FortiDB software runs as a web application and uses Tomcat as the application server. You can install it on either Windows or UNIX (Solaris, AIX, Linux) platforms.

FortiDB uses one of the following repositories for its internal data:

  • Apache Derby
  • PostgreSQL
  • Oracle
  • Microsoft SQL Server

The Apache Derby database is included with the FortiDB software. No manual setup is required.

Because the software-only version of FortiDB cannot monitor databases using the TCP/IP sniffer, the software-only version does not support the activity auditing and profiling features.
