Austin, TX – Today Giganews announced the completion of major
storage upgrades for its global Usenet cluster which will increase
binary newsgroup retention to 100 days over the next 2 weeks. 100 day
retention across all binary hierarchies is a first for the Usenet
community and part of a series of recent service improvements offered
by Giganews.

In September of 2006 Giganews was the fist Usenet provider to offer
90 days binary retention across all binary hierarchies, and followed
that announcement with the release of

256 Bit Encrypted Usenet Access
.

“As the world’s leading premium Usenet provider, Giganews is
constantly raising the bar by expanding on existing features such as
retention as well as releasing cutting edge technologies such as 256
bit encrypted Usenet access. We feel we have a responsibility to our
customers to constantly re-invest in our service so we can continue to
offer the best value on Usenet. Our recent storage upgrade and
subsequent increase to 100 days retention is just part of this ongoing
effort.” says Jonah Yokubaitis, Giganews CEO.

In addition to Giganews’ upgrade to 100 days retention in binary
newsgroups, Giganews continues to retain text articles indefinitely, and
the current text retention of 1300+ days grows day by day.

All Giganews accounts will benefit from the storage upgrades and
customers will begin to notice the binary newsgroup retention levels
grow over the next 2 weeks. There are no configuration changes
necessary for Giganews customers to enjoy the new retention
levels.
