How we did it

Network World, 09/24/01

We installed VisualPulse Version 1.7 on a RedHat 7.1 Dell Optiplex server with dual Pentium III-600 processors and 512M bytes of memory. We placed the server on a Gigabit Ethernet port on our enterprise backbone and configured it to monitor 20 systems located both on and off site.

We allowed the VisualPulse server to operate for several weeks in order to test reliability, functionality and e-mail notification. The VisualPulse application consumed little CPU time and never crashed during our test period.
