SetFocus Launches The GRID®

SetFocus launches a revolutionary on-line training experience for .NET Developers

February 1, 2006 Parsippany, NJ – SetFocus, a leader in .NET Training, announces today the official launch of The GRID®, a revolutionary on-line training solution for .NET Developers. A Microsoft Gold Certified Partner for Learning Solutions (CPLS), SetFocus has spent the past 2 years designing and developing an on-line training solution for those developers who cannot travel to the cutting-edge training company’s New York City Metropolitan facilities to attend high-level .NET Developer instructor-led courses in person.

The GRID® is a Global Remote Instructional Delivery experience, which sets a new standard for on-line learning. “We set as a standard that anything we do in the area of distance learning had to be equal to or greater than the experience of being in one of our classrooms”, stated Mike Landau, President and CEO of SetFocus. To accomplish this goal SetFocus partnered with Wire One Communications, the industry’s leader in video conferencing solutions, to deliver its instructor-led, face-to-face instruction to software developers across the country, live. "Wire One Communications is proud to partner with SetFocus to bring its innovative videoconferencing solution to the market," said Jeffrey Prestel, senior vice president of sales, Wire One Communications. "It represents the benefits customers can expect when a sound product offering is coupled with strategic consulting. We're looking forward to the future of our relationship with SetFocus."

What makes The GRID® unique and far superior to traditional synchronous on-line learning environments is its combination of seamless audio / video conferencing combined with real-time access to fully loaded .NET developer environments via Windows Virtual Machines. Through The GRID®, instructors and in-class students, interact, communicate, and collaborate with remote students through audio quality 400% greater than telephone and video quality that of television. In addition, remote students have full access to Microsoft Visual Studio.NET environments including but not limited to MSDN and SQL Server, through Windows Virtual Machines. Though geographically separated, The GRID® offers a solution that allows the instructor, in class peers, and students in their homes to collaborate as if they were sitting side by side in the classroom.
