Technology
We Offer Proven Mission-Critical and Scalable Technology and Services
Pearson LearningStudioSM technology is based on a composable software architecture that is delivered as a Software as a Service (SaaS) learning environment operating in the cloud. We supply our Education Partners with all of the hardware, storage, software and networking needed to power successful teaching and learning environments. Our software engineers and data centers provide mission-critical services for our Education Partners who do not have to worry about software maintenance and reliability, up-time, scalability, security, disaster recovery or business continuity issues because these issues are all managed by Pearson eCollege.
Benefits
Educational institutions are increasingly demanding cloud computing solutions because they are easier to setup and maintain than traditional client server-based solutions. For example, the Pearson eCollege platform is up 99.99 percent of the time, meaning there are no complaints about students not being able to get online.
In addition, we provide our Education Partners with everything needed to efficiently power a personalized learning environment, including all of the latest tools and applications for teaching, learning, collaborating and engaging students that one would expect for a truly rich and effective delivery of courses and programs on-campus, in a blended learning modality and fully online.
Reliability and Scalability
Currently the Pearson eCollege system serves over 45 million usage minutes a day, serving more than 400,000 active users in more than 70,000 active sections daily. With usage volumes averaging about 150 million web hits per day, the Pearson eCollege Data Center is one of the largest SQL Server operations in education today. To support this kind of capacity and performance, Pearson eCollege has invested heavily in time-intensive research, technology and expertise, including an experienced team of database engineers, system integrators, IT administrators, storage engineers, a world-class capacity planning team and network professionals.IT Infrastructure
