Features

Ni Cloud Clean solution is a server based solution. The server has three key components; a database to store URL's, a Router to broadcast suspicious IP's and a filter to process suspicious traffic. The Filter Server is based on standard hardware and should be deployed in a configuration that provides load balancing and an acceptable degree of redundancy, the details of this configuration will vary according to local infrastructure requirements.

Ni Cloud Clean is designed to minimise the impact on existing infrastructure. The percentage of traffic going to servers that potentially have illegal material is very small. The system identifies the potentially illegal traffic and filters only traffic that is destined for servers that host dangerous or illegal material. The system operates by informing routers in its local group of the IP addresses of the servers which may contain illegal material. All traffic to these addresses is then routed through the Filter Server and each URL is then checked against the database. If an attempt is made to access an illegal site is made the system returns a 404 message to the end user.

Ni Cloud Clean will manage the raw URL feeds provided by the Controlled Content Provider(s).

The Controlled Content Provider(s) might be a recognised law enforcement agency, a media rights/copyright owner or another licensed provider of illegal URL data e.g. The Internet Watch Foundation.

The controlled content feed supplied to Ni Cloud Clean customers will be enhanced with IP data and encrypted ensuring no third parties will have access to underlying URL's. To ensure maximum availability the content feed is available from a number of mirrored servers. The Filter Servers will periodically connect to the servers and download the latest updates. The update period is configurable.

Ni Cloud Clean is available now with data provided by the Internet Watch Foundation as standard.
