Once the initial installation is complete, that’s all you need to do. You can start connecting to servers immediately and seeing live performance information using the built-in layouts.

If you prefer, instead of using the Rapid Setup facility, you can pick the individual packages that you want to install.

To get continuous historic trending, in addition to live information, you’ll need the optional collector running on each server, and deploying this across the entire network couldn’t be easier. A dedicated application scans the network and installs and configures the software on the servers you select.

The download is very lightweight, at just 36 MB, and is distributed as a single self-extracting executable or ISO image including all the software and documentation.

If required, the individual industry-standard MSI packages that make up the distribution can be extracted, allowing you to also install the software via Group Policy, manually on specific computers or using third-party tools.
