█ ╘══════════════════╛ █
█ █
█ The DNEWS News Server is advanced news server software that makes it █
█ easy for you to provide users with fast access to Internet (USENET) █
█ news groups. Installing your own local news server software also █
█ gives you complete control to create your own private or public █
█ discussion forums for enhanced communications across the organization █
█ and Internet. █
█ █
█ The DNEWS News Server software's advanced design allows the server to █
█ out-perform other news server software . DNews News Server software █
█ provides a huge array of features and unequalled ease-of-use, █
█ reliability and scalability, making it the ideal News Server Solution █
█ for any organization. █
█ █
█ The DNews News Server is installed in thousands of organizations █
█ world-wide, ranging from large Internet Service Providers and Fortune █
█ 500 companies with hundreds of thousands of users, to mid-sized and █
█ small organizations . █
█ █
█ * Easy installation and Management GUI * █
█ █
█ DNEWS News Server includes an intuitive graphical user interface █
█ (GUI) for Windows, which makes setting up and managing the server █
█ very easy, even if you have little or no current knowledge of █
█ Internet News. Even without the GUI, DNEWS News Server set up and █
█ management is simple. Click here for more details █
█ █
█ * Remote web administration * █
█ █
█ DNEWS allows you to manage your server remotely from any web browser █
█ █
█ * Performance - Receiving News Feed - Full Feeds * █
█ █
█ The specially designed database allows DNEWS to easily take a full █
█ feed even on relatively limited hardware. Several customers have █
█ reported a jump by a factor of up to 3 times when upgrading to DNEWS █
█ from other software, but this will depend very much on what █
█ bottleneck was limiting your system previously. █
█ █
█ * Performance - Receiving News Feed - Dynamic Pull Feeds * █
█ █
█ This unique feature allows the DNEWS News Server to dynamically and █
█ automatically only pull news groups which are actually read on your █
█ server. This unique advance can result in enormous savings in disk █
█ space and bandwidth while further enhancing performance. This dynamic █
█ sucking feed is particularly helpful for small sites and workgroups, █
█ allowing a group of one hundred users to be supported on as little as █
█ 100-200 MB while retaining all the advantages of a full feed. █
█ Single-user feeds can use as little as 5 MB. █
█ █
█ The Dynamic Pull (sucking) feed is unique to the DNEWS server and is █
█ designed to provide a better solution for the large number of smaller █
█ sites and companies that want the benefits of running a local news █
█ server and a 'full feed', but have limited resources. The dynamic █
█ sucking feed option allows DNEWS News Server to dynamically and █
█ automatically only suck news groups which are actually read on your █
█ server, while allowing users all the choice provided with a full-feed █
█ within the organization's policy. █
█ █
█ The dynamic feed option is generally a far more efficient alternative █
█ for servers with 500 users or less. Often the employment of the █
█ Dynamic sucking feed can avoid the need to invest in a faster more █
█ expensive line, additional and hardware and memory that would █
█ otherwise be necessary to use a full feed. █
█ █
█ DNEWS currently allows up to twenty separate dynamic feeds to be set █
█ up. Both suck and full feeds can be set up together if desired. DNEWS █
█ can pull using as many channels to each upstream server as you want █
█ all simultaneously. █
█ █
█ * Performance - Sending News Feeds - Full Feeds * █
█ █
█ DNEWS includes a module called 'DFEED' which is designed for sending █
█ out multiple full news feeds extremely efficiently. On a typical █
█ system dfeed can easily send out as much data as your network cards █
█ will allow it to send. █
█ █
█ DFEED's unique design is superior to most other feeding systems, █
█ typical news feeds tend to suffer from 'part loss' this occurs when █
█ the receiving end cannot keep up with the sending system, messages █
█ which can't be sent immediately are stored and in theory sent later, █
█ but often they are deleted before they are sent or cannot be sent on █
█ fast enough as they are 'spread' all over the disk it is much slower █
█ to find and send these items than the incoming feed. As a result most █
█ news feeds tend to drop a small percent of news items, say one in 10, █
█ when this happens in text news groups no one notices, but when it █
█ happens in a binary news group the result is disasterous as the █
█ binary pictures are sent as multiple part messages, loosing every █
█ 10th message means the other 9 parts are also 'useless'. █
█ █
█ DFEED solves this problem by separating the incoming and outgoing █
█ feeds via a disk 'pipe' which just happens to be very simple because █
█ of the bucket based storage system DNEWS uses. As a result the disk █
█ is being read 'sequentially' which is about 10 times more efficient █
█ than trying to find items 'all over the disk'. This means if the feed █
█ does get behind a bit it will be able to catch up again when the █
█ desitination server 'speeds up'. And if it never does and DFEED █
█ 'really' has to drop some messages, it drops them in a block, so █
█ individual 'parts' are not lost but entire multipart items so the █
█ total loss is much less. █
█ █
█ In addition dfeed feeds are incredibly easy to configure, you just █
█ add the name of the destination into the feed file, you can also █
█ specify many options if you want but the basic configuration is █
█ trivial. █
█ █
█ Delayed - Feeds, dfeeds also support delayed feeds, this is an █
█ efficient way of sending a 'backup' feed to another site, where you █
█ want to fill in the gaps in their other feed but you don't want to █
█ use all your bandwidth sending articles that they would also get from █
█ another feed, you can specify a delay of 'n' seconds (e.g. 60) then █
█ your feed will only have to 'send' articles that the destination has █
█ missed from it's 'main' feed. This is also ideal for use where █
█ 'satellite' feeds are used. █
█ █
█ * The System is designed to be run unattended * █
█ █
█ DNEWS was designed to run unattended with virtually no ongoing █
█ management time. This is achieved through various intelligent and █
█ intuitive features that can be set by the system administrator. The █
█ cyclic expiration system means disk space never runs out even if news █
█ volumes double over the weekend when no one is available to fix █
█ things. █
█ █
█ The Server remains stable even where problems with downstream feeds █
█ arise - detecting and dealing with the consequences of these problems █
█ automatically. █
█ █
█ DNEWS emails a daily report to the administrator detailing whats been █
█ received from and sent to each feed, how the expire ran, disk space █
█ used and available so if something does go wrong the manager is █
█ informed, if disk space becomes critical an email is sent █
█ immediately. █
█ █
█ Where the dynamic feed is used the server dynamically reflects the █
█ changing reading habits of users without any manual intervention. █
█ █
█ Upgrades are always 'easy' typically it takes less than 2 minutes to █
█ upgrade to a newer version of dnews, in most cases it's even possible █
█ to downgrade and in NO cases are limitations on platform versions █
█ un-necessarily added, so you don't need to apply service pack 'x' etc █
█ just to upgrade DNEWS. █
█ █
█ * Spool area 10mb-500gb * █
█ █
█ DNEWS works well with a tiny spool of 10mb or a huge spool of 500 Gig █
█ or more. Disks can be added at any time without having to calculate █
█ which part of the news tree to place on which disk. █
█ █
█ * Concurrent users 1-20,000 * █
█ █
█ DNEWS will support 1-20,000 concurrent users on a single machine the █
█ RAM usage per user is very low. One hundred connections would be █
█ possible on a machine with █
█ 96MB of RAM, and 300 connections on 128 MB of RAM. This incredible █
█ range of performance means you don't have to 'panic' and add extra █
█ servers as your user base █
█ grows. █
█ █
█ (Note: for more than 1000 concurrent users you must use an operating █
█ system that supports large numbers of SOCKETS, we recommend NT and █
█ Solaris, other unix platforms may work if you make kernel config █
█ changes to increase the handle limits) █
█ █
█ * Many access control options * █
█ █
█ DNEWS provides Flexible Access Restrictions plus advanced security █
█ features: Reading and Posting Access can be given separately to █
█ different users and selections of news groups. For NT and Unix users, █
█ DNEWS allows authorization via the system user database or via an █
█ external script or DLL or via your POP server or via PAM, Radius, █
█ LDAP etc... █
█ █
█ DNEWS provides two types of connection limiting; you can limit the █
█ number of users connecting from a specific sub net, or the number of █
█ concurrent users connecting from a specific ip number, within a sub █
█ net. █
█ █
█ DNEWSWEB Supports the standard SSL employed by secure web servers. █
█ This allows you to create secure News/discussion groups utilizing the █
█ standard security and access controls you employ with your secure web █
█ server. █
█ █
█ * Email confirmation of posts * █
█ █
█ DNEWS News Server can be configured to send email confirmation to a █
█ user as it sends a posted item up to a main news server. This gives █
█ users a clear record of a posted item and its successful transfer █
█ onto the Internet. █
█ █
█ * Local News Groups * █
█ █
█ With your own news server, you can have complete control over your █
█ own 'local' news groups. This includes normal and moderated news █
█ groups. █
█ █
█ * Performance - Reader Speed * █
█ █
█ DNEWS gives very high performance. This is due to the advanced █
█ database which was specifically designed for news item storage. █
█ Several advanced techniques are used so that both the speed of █
█ accepting incoming news is incredible (tests have gone up to 200 █
█ items per second, 20 times a full news feed) and the speed of █
█ 'reading' news is also unbeatable, dnews 'arranges' the data on disk █
█ for high speed access depending on various tuning parameters, this █
█ can make news retrieval faster than any other news server and also █
█ increase the life of disks and allow more concurrent users on the █
█ same hardware. █
█ █
█ * Streaming support * █
█ █
█ NNTP streaming extensions are built in. This can double or triple █
█ large feed throughput particularly over slow links. █
█ █
█ * News items are not stored in individual files * █
█ █
█ Items are stored in a database. This has several advantages over █
█ previous systems which add to performance: █
█ █
█ - Directory entries and file open and close operations are reduced. █
█ - Systems don't run out of INODES forcing the disk to be █
█ re-initialized. █
█ - Very little loss due to blocking factors on large disks █
█ █
█ * Configurable without recompiling * █
█ █
█ DNEWS News Server can be configured without recompiling and all the █
█ configuration scripts have been simplified wherever possible. █
█ █
█ * Binaries available, you don't have to build it yourself * █
█ █
█ As dnews comes pre-compiled you don't have to worry about building it █
█ yourself for any platform - we've already done it. █
█ █
█ * PGP Authentication supported * █
█ █
█ If you are worried about the power hackers may have on your news █
█ server (and you should be) then you definitely need this feature █
█ which allows you to be sure no unauthorized person is creating or █
█ deleting news groups on your system. Click here for technical █
█ details. █
█ █
█ * Standards Based * █
█ █
█ DNEWS News Server is compatible with existing standard protocols, to █
█ ensure the widest possible range of communications and collaboration. █
█ It uses the standard Network News Transport Protocol (NNTP) and runs █
█ on any TCP/IP network. As a result DNEWS News Server integrates with █
█ the USENET news groups and is inter-operable with any NNTP based █
█ newsreader. DNEWS News Server also supports the use of standard MIME █
█ types and image formats, including GIF and JPEG. █
█ █
█ Multimedia Attachments █
█ █
█ Because DNEWS News Server allows attaching of documents in a variety █
█ of multimedia formats, discussion groups have enormous options as █
█ vehicles for distribution of information and knowledge. Group members █
█ can download documents sent to the group, mark them up, and send them █
█ back. The dnewsweb interface allows attachments to be posted, viewed █
█ or saved via the web as well █
█ █
█ * Advanced "Spam" Filters * █
█ █
█ DNEWS provides leading edge detection and filtering options to █
█ protect your server, users and the wider USENET community from █
█ "SPAM". █
█ █
█ - Hi speed built in spam protection - These features include builtin █
█ modules for detecting SPAM of many kinds based on repitition of █
█ headers, duplicate bodies, or keywords found anywhere in the 'body' █
█ of the message. █
█ - Extensible rule based progamming language - (built in) This allows █
█ you to extend the spam detection to outwit any spammer. Example █
█ rules are provided which implement the popular 'cleanfeed' system. █
█ - NoCem - is supported built in, this is a system where people around █
█ the world pick out spam and send messages listing all the messages █
█ that they consider to be spam, you can then choose to accept these █
█ messages or not and essentially have thousands of keen enthusiasts █
█ removing the spam from your system all day and all night █
█ automatically. █
█ - External filters - If all that isn't enough you can even plug in █
█ external spam filters written in perl or 'c' from third parties █
█ (e.g. cleanfeed etc...) █
█ █
█ * DNEWSWEB News to Web gateway * █
█ █
█ DNEWSWEB - News to Web Gateway and Full Text Searching: DNEWSWEB is a █
█ news to web gateway provided with the DNEWS Server. This provides █
█ users the additional option of reading and posting news directly from █
█ ordinary HTML pages using any browser. █
█ █
█ This has several advantages: █
█ █
█ 1.Users don't need to know what news is █
█ 2.Users don't need to configure a news browser █
█ 3.You can give customers world wide access to one of your own local █
█ news groups █
█ 4.Allows nice presentation of local news groups with USENET groups. █
█ 5.Pages can be fully customized, to reflect a corporate image or █
█ include advertising. █
█ 6.Giff and Jpeg images are immediately viewable without extracting. █
█ 7.Performance is often faster than a news reader because the http █
█ protocol is more efficient and DNEWSWEB has been designed to work █
█ with DNEWS. █
█ 8.Supports Secure News Groups. Secure News/discussion groups can be █
█ created by using DNEWSWEB with a secure web server (of which there █
█ are many). █
█ 9.You can advertise and communicate to your customers 'while' they █
█ are reading news! █
