Requirements
To use Confluence Data Center you must:
- Have a Data Center license (you can purchase a Data Center license or create an evaluation license at my.atlassian.com)
- Use a supported external database, operating system and Java version
- Use OAuth authentication if you have application links to other Atlassian products (such as Jira)
If you plan to run Confluence Data Center in a cluster there are some additional infrastructure requirements. See Clustering with Confluence Data Center for more information.
To get started
Moving from a standalone to a clustered setup
From Confluence 7.2 onwards, you can upgrade from Server to a standalone Data Center installation, then enable and configure your Confluence cluster.
