Download DataStage

DataStage is targeted at the Ubuntu Linux 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot operating system. It ought to work on Ubuntu 12.04 as well (let us know!). DataStage can be installed in a system with 500MB of RAM, a single core and it will work with a minimum of about 2GB of storage. The VMs have been built for an i386 (32-bit machine), but should still work on 64-bit machines.

Downloads are available as Debian packages and Virtual Machine images. The VMs can be used on Macs (with VMWare Fusion 4.x.) or Windows (with VMWare Player).
