* Builder capacity is based on a Pentium 4 2.4 Ghz. single processor CPU with 512 Mb. of RAM. Capacity varies depending on the density of events per unit time and the number of performance histograms reported.
** Courier capacity is limited primarily by data network speeds and target system performance rather than by the Courier itself. On a typical small business network with a mix of Linux and Windows systems running on older Pentium cpu's the capacity has been measured at 12 Gb. per day.
