With the ever-increasing need for distance education, Canyon College is proving a quality educational portal for busy adult learners who find it difficult to complete their education in a traditional classroom setting while maintaining a job, family and other obligations. The Internet provides the means for offering a flexible schedule and 24 x 7 access to the online classrooms.
The Web site, maintained on the dedicated server hosted by INetU, has eliminated the geographical barriers which formerly existed in education and restricted students to a traditional classroom setting. Providing online classrooms and instruction has provided domestic students as well as foreign students, the ability to attend and complete individual courses, certificate courses, and even a degree program from the convenience of their home or office, and with only an Internet connection required.
INetU is helping Canyon College achieve the success it has earned by providing a reliable and supportive hosting environment. "INetU is a key player in the success of Canyon College," says Dr. Michael F. Storrs, the President of Canyon College. "INetU's expert technical support, programming of key scripts, server monitoring, and professional advise on server security were critical to operations throughout the last two years."
An example of INetU assisting Canyon College recently came when the Web site had outgrown its server. "During December 2001, it was necessary to upgrade and migrate to another dedicated server maintained by INetU," Dr. Storrs explains. "Because of the complexity and the number of scripts ran on our educational site, I was amazed at the efficiency and aptness with which the migration occurred. The INetU staff had the migration completed in what seemed like an impossible time frame. The migration only took a fraction of the time I anticipated, and only a brief interruption to services occurred as a result."
Dr. Storrs holds INetU in the highest regard as a service provider. "I would highly recommend that any company seeking to outsource key Web projects consider INetU as a viable solution to their needs," he explains. "I consider INetU's expertise to be an integral component to the success of critical and technical operations at Canyon College."
