Monitors
ProactiveNet monitors require only about 31 KB of memory. And depending on what's being monitored and how frequently, our tests showed the agents consume only 1 percent to 2 percent of CPU resources.
The monitors collect data from systems, network devices, databases and applications, as well as Web, mail and security servers. Additionally, each category above has a range of monitors. In the systems group Host MIB, for example, information is supported as a source from which to gather data, but special collectors ship with the product--including those for Dell, Compaq, Windows NT/2000, BMC Patrol and Computer Associates' Unicenter--and these monitors require only configuration to work.
Complete SNMP data collection has been a part of ProactiveNet since version 1, and agents or monitors can now be distributed and used to collect non-SNMP performance data. Keynote and Mercury transactions have been added to the existing Web transactions.
ProactiveNet differs from most performance-monitoring applications in that it automatically sets performance thresholds based on historical trending. With other monitors, thresholds are set statically, requiring a deep understanding of what's considered normal for a given network, system or application; thus, it's not uncommon for the resulting alarms to be ignored once the thresholds are set.

AI may force enterprises to rewire parts of their data centers so they are fully optimized to run such workloads. The question is do you use Ethernet or InfiniBand?
