Giganews at 200 days retention!
I must have been asleep at the keyboard, as Giganews recently announced they will now have 200 days of binary retention by the end of summer!
That’s one heck of a lot of data. With a newsfeed currently pushing 3.5TB per day that works out to around 700TB and is high enough to now count in Petabytes at .7PB. That’s unheard of in all of usenet history.
In addition they are currently not expiring any text articles and are currently at 1400+ days of text retention.
Kudo’s go out to Giganews for kicking some butt in the retention wars.
