What's So Special Here?
This sample illustrates how Boost can be integrated with a learning management system to support high
quality media at virtually unlimited scalability with minimal investment.
Online courseware sites provide an excellent way for supporting education initiatives at many levels.
Whether as a university curriculum site, a corporate learning portal, or public training center, these
sites can provide a better experience for students working from home or on the road.
Unfortunately, delivering sites like this one have traditionally come at high cost. Delivering a superior
experience has many costs to consider, ranging from massive load scalability down to the security model
used to decide who can upload and manage courses and their respective media.
By using Boost services, this site enjoys great scalability for video, pictures, and files. In addition,
the vast majority of data requests bypass the hosting server by accessing public data from Boost directly
from the browser. As a result, this site can be hosted using a minimal investment of hardware, software,
network bandwidth, and staffing, resulting in a lower total cost of ownership.
Coming soon: architecture details.
Most importantly, Boost provides an incredibly robust and flexible developer platform. Most sites can
integrate Boost services in under 1 week, drastically reducing the time it takes to bring user-generated
content features to existing sites.
