Seeking input on server daemon selection and configuration

I've got about 500 machines that occasionally spew a ton of data that
I need in (nearly) real-time.   I need a server that can handle quite
a bit of 'burst' type traffic and not throttle the input/output
commands while still being stable (internal business application).

I tried ngircd to test a prototype, but it seems to be lacking in
configuration and requires a user authenticate as IRC op to remove
flood protections.  I need some other method -- preferably through
removal of protections on persistent channels.

Are there any highly scalable/configurable servers that do this
easily?  Resources of the server are not a limiting factor in the
decision, but ease of configuration and bringup may be.

I know in UnrealIRCd you can set the flood limit on the server
manually via config. If this is just a business server you can disable
it altogether as you shouldn't have anyone to exploit the flood limit.
That's my 2cents and there are better options.

Charybdis is a very scalable server that runs on Linux, Windows
(support was just added for that) and more (FreeBSD!). You can check
it out [here](https://github.com/charybdis-ircd/charybdis)

Chary recently died. Or did it?

No, it didn't.

Thought Kaniini cancelled it
