Giganews announced last week that they had set a new Usenet milestone, upping binary retention to 300 days, a first for any provider.
Retention time is how long Giganews stores data available without deleting to make room for new content.
“Reaching 300 days of retention is a definite high-water mark for us and for Usenet as a whole,” Philip Molter, Giganews CTO added, “As the industry leader, we are excited to offer such lengthy retention times to our customers, and we continue to work toward our goal of a full year’s worth of binary retention.”
The company added that it plans to up retention time again to one full year (365 days) by August.
