<i>13- Is MDM installations possible on all the Unix flavours i.e. Linux, AIX, Solaris, HP-UX etc.</i>

MDM server components and a command-line control application are available on Linux, AIX, Solaris, HP-UX and System X. MDM GUI-based front-end applications (Console, Data Manager, Import Manager etc.) are available on Windows only but can connect to MDM servers on any supported platform.

Hope that helps
