* 32-bit operating systems are no longer supported from Switch 2017 onwards.

** OSX Server is an app for the regular OSX version; hence it is not considered a separate OS. If the base OSX version is supported, then the base OSX version including the OSX Server app is supported.

*** Requires manual installation of Rosetta.

Hardware compatibility

macOS (Apple Silicon / arm64)

Native arm64 MongoDB v8 binaries are available and run fine. These use ARMv8.2-A features instead of AVX2/FMA3, so Intel-only requirements don’t apply.

Windows on ARM64 and legacy x86 hardware (without AVX2/FMA3 support)

MongoDB v8 is not considered reliable on these platforms. Customers should be advised to avoid installing Switch 25.11 in such environments until official support is announced by MongoDB.

Windows/macOS on x86 architecture

Prior to upgrading to Switch 25.11, customers must verify that their CPU supports both AVX2 and FMA3 instruction sets. MongoDB v8 will fail to start if these instructions are not available.

Process to verify instruction availability

To verify support for AVX2 and FMA instructions on a macOS (Intel/x86), execute the following commands in the terminal:

  • sysctl -n hw.optional.avx2_0 — returns 1 if AVX2 instructions are supported.
  • sysctl -n hw.optional.fma — returns 1 if FMA instructions are supported.

To verify support for AVX2 and FMA instructions on a Windows (x86) follow the Recommended Verification Method:

  • Using System Information:
    1. Press Win + R, type msinfo32, and press Enter.
    2. In the System Summary, locate the Processor model.
    3. Visit the official processor specification page on the Intel ARK or AMD website to confirm AVX2 and FMA3 support.
  • Alternative Method (Third-Party Utility):
    1. Customers comfortable with installing a lightweight utility may use CPU-Z.
    2. Under the Instructions field, CPU-Z will explicitly list AVX2 and FMA3 if supported by the processor.

Notes:

  • Although not formally supported and tested at this time, Switch should also run on Windows 2000 Server and Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) for PowerPC Macs
  • Resources:

By itself Switch doesn't require a lot of resources; it can operate with:

128 Mb of memory available to Switch
100 Mb of free disk space (before Switch is installed)
Limited processor time (except when compressing/decompressing large jobs)
Limited disk I/O capacity (except when moving large numbers of files)

However Switch usually drives a number of processes that require substantial additional
resources:

Disk space for (potentially large) jobs as they are being moved along a flow or
after they have been archived
Network bandwidth for email and FTP communication
Processor time, disk I/O capacity, memory and disk space for third-party
applications.

The resource requirements for these processes must be estimated separately.
