Insight Remote Support - IRS - hosting requirements

If a have a 2 server HPUX environment, is a proliant windows server still a requirement for Insight Remote Support. From reading the readme it looks like it is a requirement. Seems like a waste for 2 HPUX servers.

You are right - a proliant windows system is needed to run Insight RS as this is a windows based application.

Is there any type standalone solution available? Maybe something similar to ISEE?

Honestly, my advice is to not instal IRS if you plan to monitor just two servers, especially if you don't have a Proliant with Windows readily available. You'll spend lots of time and energy for not much added value.

Configuring EMS / evweb so that they notify you by e-mail and opening calls manually if/when that happens might be a better option for you. These are my two cents.

Good luck
