However, the physical database file may be stored on any shared network drive, including non-Windows platforms, by using common network file sharing software such as Samba or NFS. And MySQL databases are available for many operating systems (see Working With MySQL Databases).
Additionally, the main AYS application has been successfully tested on a few virtual machine products that can host a Windows environment on non-Windows operating systems running on Intel processors. And if the application is running on a Citrix XenApp server (see Installing on a Wide Area Network) then a Citrix client may be installed for many non-Windows operating systems. The following table lists some examples of virtual machine products for various operating systems.
