New Update

The project was conceptualized for the Aditya Birla Group, which has 60

manufacturing locations in India and abroad (Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines,

Egypt, Canada, Australia, Indonesia and China), by 24X7 Learning. The Group felt

the need to build a high quality employee base for the success and training

needs of the organization. To achieve this, they required: global capabilities

and competencies; speed of learning; learning to reach remote pockets; and focus

on building a managerial base. The project caters to about 10,000 users

(managers). For this, 26 servers have been installed globally, and the

e-Learning solution has been 90% completed. To manage high volumes,

infrastructure related issues, penetration, network connectivity and speed, a

distributed architecture is deployed where the database is centralized, and

content and LMS Servers are distributed. With decentralized database, there

should be connectivity between various locations and the main server. To

overcome this, the architecture was completely decentralized and the data is

replicated once per day for centralized administration. The entire architecture

is based on Windows 2000 Server, IIS 5.1 Web server, SQL Server 2000 with

Replication.
