Porn websites no more

Removing pornographic content has been a challenge for an administrator in colleges and enterprises. Parents get agitated over the question of preventing their child from undesirable websites and sources with adult contents. Cyber cafe operators and corporate network administrator have to deal with such traffics on their turf. I came to know that Hyderabad-based Drishti Systems have come up with an awe-inspiring technology that extensively improves the excellence of such filtering. Previous year, it launched a hardware solution called “NetOptima” that could be plugged into a network to filter the pornographic sites. It was quite expensive and it cost over 60,000. Currently they have introduced three software versions of NetOptima, which are called home edition, cafe edition and professional edition. The professional edition is the costliest of the three, which crosses 20,000 rupees. The other two editions are quite cheaper and they range from 1000 to 2000 rupees. Installing home edition is a trouble-free procedure, which involves loading it into the PC promptly, while the Cafe edition and professional edition need to be encumbered into the server. The Cafe edition supports about 20 computers, while the professional one manages 1000 PCs on a server.
