History

NetSentron was privately developed by KDI in 2002.[1] The product is available as a hardware appliance, and as software which must be loaded onto equivalent hardware. The initial target market was businesses, to provide high security data transfer with its AES-256 bit encryption. Over time, however, schools wanting to prevent their students from viewing inappropriate Internet content (as defined by individual school administrators: examples include pornography and instant messaging sites) became interested in the NetSentron because of the appliance's content filter.[2]

Features

The NetSentron provides features for network security and management, such as[3] a firewall with intrusion detection, and a spam filter.

The NetSentron hardware appliance is available in two sizes.[4] The original is a single rack unit (1U) server, configurable for supporting up to 200, 400 or 800 concurrent Internet users depending on the option purchased. For smaller operations, a small form factor supports up to 50 concurrent Internet users.

gollark: Actually, if we use the famous energy-mass conversion equation, then 1kg of water contains 9\*10^16J, which is about 2\*10^13 dietary calories, which is about 30 million years of the daily calorie requirement of 2000cal or so.
gollark: The filenames will end up looking like this: `8a/afc1e9bec810034dafd45c6854f1dd9-thing/4f9de92add0e379f3db5f32929a17c41-stuff.jpg`.
gollark: It's really a shame I can't just store all user file uploads in SQLite utterly without problems.
