Nagios vs. .NET's MOM

[Brian Whitehead]

Regardless, which one you go with you'll still need the server.  One
point is that you'll need a much bigger server for the Microsoft
product.  I can guarantee that the minimum requirements are MUCH higher
for the MS OS and software than running Linux and Nagios.  I could
probably run this on an old 486 although I wouldn't want to.
