Hardware Setup and Operating System Installation

This chapter covers the installation and setup of recommended hardware configurations with a minimum installation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux™ for Discover DNCA software.

The Unica Discover Network Capture Application (DNCA) is considered a network appliance software, like a network switch, that can be installed on a supported Linux platform. The software is designed to run in a dedicated environment to capture and process a high volume of network packets. As such, it is the only application software that must own the Linux server. It is not meant to be shared with any other general applications.
