Web Server
NetNow! provides a basic web server, suitable for company-wide distribution
of information. NetNow! can index both locally hosted and remote sites, making
it possible to find pages through a familiar keyboard search.
Each user can also maintain their own homepages (some web page editors can
edit directly from NetNow!).
Web Proxy and Cache
NetNow! is a fully featured web proxy, allowing any machine on your network
to access the world wide web without the need for specialist proxy server
software. Pages can be cached locally, dramatically reducing download times.
If requested pages are not in the NetNow! cache, it can be configured to
ask clients (through their web browser) if they wish to initiate a connection.
For offline sites that are regularly used, you can have a web crawler
periodically scan the sties for pages and download them in advance. This
makes it possible to browse entire sites without needing to go online at
all. NetNow! can also index these sites for keyword searching.
Accounting
NetNow! is designed to be equally useful in both single-user and multi-user
environments. Multi-user features include periodic accounting, and imposing
limits on the use of user's mail slots (such as volume and quantity of mail).
The accounting reports can be posted automatically to the administrators.
and users can be warned when they approach their limits.
Security
NetNow! provides a network firewall with both inclusive and exclusive access
for machines. This degree of security can be individually configured for
each of NetNow!'s services.
You can easily prevent mail attacks by refusing to accept messages that are
over a specified size. This can be applied to messages received from your
service provider in such a way as not to interfere with legitimate
messages.
Extensive Customisation
Most of NetNow!'s templates (automatic messages such as welcome messages
to mailing lists, and delivery failure reports) can be easily customised.
Templates make use of the powerful scripting language built in to NetNow!.
Scripts can also be used separately, both scheduled and triggered by messages
and system events. |
