Squirro is designed and optimized for Linux. Installations are provided for the Red Hat® and CentOS distributions, both in the cloud or on premise.

Squirro is built as a service oriented platform. All services work as self-contained units of functionality and therefore are suited for different scenarios. Squirro can match small but also complex and large-scale requirements. All Squirro services communicate via RESTful API. The Squirro API is open and allows for 3rd party integration for all services and functionality.

Versions

Squirro supports 2 different types of deployments - cloud and on-premise. Updating installations in cloud is done by the Squirro staff, based on individual agreements with the customer. With on-premise deployments, the upgrade process is driven by the customer directly.

Please see the Release Notes section for details about individual releases or reach out to Squirro Support about scheduled upcoming release dates.

PlatformVersionComments
Cloudn/a

A separate cloud is generally set up for each customer, to isolate the different installations. Squirro generally works with Amazon Web Services for cloud deployments. But other cloud services are supported on demand.

Linux

Red Hat® and CentOS. See System Requirements for details.

  • Red Hat® Enterprise Linux®
    • License provided by customer
    • Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® support for the standard operating system components
  • CentOS Linux: 
    • No license required
    • Community based support for standard operating system components

With the cloud version all the administration is done by Squirro's staff. This Administration Guide is thus only needed for on-premise deployments, where partners or customers take over these responsibilities.
