Speed And Capacity
Typhoon is a "carrier-class" NNTP Server solution that scales to support thousand's of simultaneous readers accessing hundreds of gigabytes of news while keeping up with multiple Full Cyclone-speed NNTP feeds.

Advanced Features
Typhoon has features like enterprise-wide article number synchronization, multiple compression algorithms, and plug-in customizable Anti-SPAM filters.

In addition, Typhoon provides full virtual server capability, powerful program-based authentication, efficient site feeding, higher capacity, and very detailed statistics.

Software Highlights
Fully compliant to published and de-facto Internet standards for News server software.
Performance and scalability to "carrier-class" levels: Thousands of Browsers, Thousands of Groups, Millions of Articles, Billions of Bytes per day, Terabytes (Trillions of Bytes) of storage capacity.
True 100% availability. No need to "throttle" or have downtime to "expire".
"Virtual Server" ability leverages hardware resources by allowing multiple "virtual" News systems with private independent newsgroups and subscriptions.
This feature alone provides ISP's with the ability to host multiple customer's news services on the same hardware without additional investment.
Cached architecture provides more efficient resource utilization.
Full and Partial bi-directional NNTP feeding.
Customizable Anti-SPAM filters for eliminating unwanted content.
Customizable POST filters for eliminating unwanted locally-authored content and enforcing Newsgroup policy on user base.
Fine-grain content control via numerous filtering and partitioning directives.
Detailed Inbound, Reader, and Content statistics suitable for billing.
Carrier-class scalable NEWNEWS implementation.
Optional Real-time statistics for monitoring and auditing individuals.
NNTP performance analysis tools useful in diagnosing bottlenecks at customer sites.
Powerful disk space allocation directives eliminate disk space shortages and allow flexible disk resource allocation.
Multiple data compression algorithms for optimizing disk space consumption.
Customizable program-based authentication. External authentication programs can maintain database connections (to Radius, Kerberos, NIS+, etc.), use time-of-day, system load, or any other data at its disposal to dynamically, allow, deny, or implement different policies of access and authentication at any time.
Unique "Chaining" ability allows multiple Typhoon machines in a WAN environment to leverage centralized disk storage while minimizing network traffic.
Tight control over user authentication and article generation.
Built-in enterprise-wide fault tolerant article number synchronization.
Built-in enterprise-wide automatic active file content synchronization.
