History
The Cacti project was first started by Ian Berry on September 2, 2001. Berry was inspired to start the project while working for a small ISP while also still in high school, learning PHP and MySQL. His central aim in creating Cacti "was to offer more ease of use than RRDtool and more flexibility than MRTG."
On September 13, 2004, version 0.8.6 was released, and with it came more developers and, later on, greater program speed and scalability.
Version 0.8.7 was released for use in October 2007. As of June 2012, a roadmap on the website indicates that version 1.0.0 is scheduled for release in the first quarter of 2013.
