The ENSYS Engineering Training System uses a network
which is
designed to meet the training needs of
engineers for:
professional licensure exam preparation,
re-education,
continued professional training and
professional
development.
The training system uses 100 servers and workstations.
The training system currently contains 10,000 hours of audio, video
and whiteboard.
The training system data is produced from an in-house
developed data-base of
1,000,000 sheets of original, in-house developed engineering
materials. |
| |
|
Users interact with data through the central interface:
www.ensys.net which
integrates 1000 domains |
| |
Users work with data online synchronously or asynchronously
work with data offline, or work without computer via print and
mp3 player. |
| |
Users access three distinct server networks
MCU servers for
synchronous data, DNS servers and Streaming Media servers for
asynchronous data. |
| |
The MCU server network
is used for real-time instruction and
live academic support, the integrated whiteboard and audio-files
are stored in the Streaming Media servers. |
| |
The DNS servers
host online classrooms which integrate
whiteboard and audio-files, uploaded from central File servers |
| |
The files in the file servers
are developed from live
classes, libraries and databases which are centralized in
Document servers |
| |
The central 1 million document-database
is developed from
transparencies, hardcopies and whiteboard pages which were tested in live
classes |
| |
ENSYS deploys shared, dedicated and collocated DNS, File and
Database servers at world class, tier 1 datacenters
DNS Servers which host ENSYS classrooms are mirrored at
redundant datacenters to provide for uninterrupted user's
training
In the unlikely event of loss of one datacenter, users are
transferred seamlessly to backup datacenters
File
and Database servers are centralized in datacenter
warehouses and are mirrored in the ENSYS in-house
