Dragons and knights aren’t heading down the e-learning path. If the vendor has load balance (which anyone who has servers should), then the bandwidth claim just doesn’t fly – not even in a spaceship to Mars - unless you i.e. the customer is having internal issues with your network lines or your own servers. On the e-learning side, vendors who do not have their own servers, will use server farms such as Rackspace. E-Learning 24/7.
