eCollegeSM Implements New Technology, Enabling a “Peerless” Connection
DENVER – April 2, 2001 – eCollegeSM [Nasdaq: ECLG], an eLearning software
and services provider, today announced that new advancements in its
technology infrastructure enable a “peerless” connection among its users
with different ISP’s. The new technology greatly reduces the need to
transfer across networks within the Internet, as if eCollege and all of its
customers were on the same network.
“Having a peerless infrastructure means that educators and students will
experience a faster connection to their eLearning environment because they
don’t have to go through peering points where their ISP must connect with
their school’s, a faculty member’s, or another student’s ISP,” said John
Collins, vice president of Information Services at eCollege. “The new
technology provides administrators, faculty, and students with an even
higher level of service and support than they have already come to know and
expect from eCollege.”
A peerless infrastructure translates into greater availability and
performance. The new technology improves the company’s redundant Internet
connectivity, ultimately improving reliability and Internet access times.
These advancements apply to customers running the eCollege software in
eCollege’s hosted environment, or as an option when they run the software on
their own servers.
