About installing PolicyCenter in a production environment

In production environments, Guidewire strongly recommends that you allocate separate dedicated hardware for the application server and database server tiers. Reserve this hardware solely for use with Guidewire PolicyCenter. Using dedicated hardware is best for performance and for isolating the cause of any issues that arise.

Although production environments can run on operating systems other than Windows, you must develop PolicyCenter on a Windows system prior to deploying PolicyCenter.

PolicyCenter requires a 64-bit operating system and JVM for a production installation.
