Platforms
The Voracity graphical user interface (GUI), IRI Workbench, runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS. Built on Eclipse™, IRI Workbench uses a built-in or available JRE. Amazon and Azure platforms support bare metal and VM instances of Voracity, and PaaS solutions are in development for OCI.
The default back-end executable in Voracity (the CoSort SortCL program) runs with or without the IRI Workbench GUI on all Windows, Linux, and Unix systems listed below. Mainframe and cloud data can still be processed with the GUI (client) connection to your host (server). The Hadoop version of Voracity runs on compatible flavors of Linux (below).
Windows
Voracity runs on Windows XP, 7-11, Server 2000-22.
Linux
Voracity on Linux runs on 32- and 64-bit Intel x86 and Itanium hardware. It is certified for Oracle Linux 7 and 8, is Red Hat Ready (for RHEL6-8), and declared Novell YES! for SUSELinux SLES10-15). Container versions are also available.
The CoSort for Linux back-end in Voracity also runs on other chipsets as well. Being IBM Chiphopper-certified, it runs on IBM eServerx, i p, and zSeries (mainframe) Linux. Additional Linux ports include SLES (SuSE) 8-11 and the IBM POWER 5-7 chips, and other variants like AsianUX, CentOS, Debian, Fedora Core, Gentoo, Mandrake, and Ubuntu.

Pricing
Voracity pricing tiers are simple and affordable. You can license the platform as an operational expense (OpEx) in a 1-year or discounted 5-year subscription, or for perpetual use as a capital expense (CapEx). Subscriptions to the base Voracity platform include support.
Tiered annual pricing covers small departments through global enterprises, and starts in the low five figures. Uniquely, Voracity pricing is based only on the number of hostnames running its executable to process data, be they on-premise or in the cloud. Costs outside the US and Canada, particularly through VAR partners adding local services, may vary.
