ANGEL Learning and F5 Team to Deliver Premier Online Learning Technology Solutions

For Immediate Release - Sept. 2, 2008

Indianapolis, Ind. – September 2, 2008 – ANGEL® Learning, a leading provider of enterprise eLearning software and services, today announced that it has joined the Technology Alliance Program at F5 Networks, the global leader in Application Delivery Networking. The alliance grew out of ANGEL Learning’s satisfaction with the F5 BIG-IP products it implements to provide comprehensive, secure, and optimized Application Hosting Services (AHS) to ANGEL hosted customers.

“Higher education institutions rely on ANGEL learning management solutions to run the educational enterprise, which impacts more than just IT. Students, faculty, and course administrators are also impacted,” said Calvin Rowland, director of business development at F5. “We’re pleased to partner with ANGEL as an increasing number of higher-ed organizations today are truly leveraging the web for all their applications. Together, ANGEL and F5 help universities and colleges achieve better application performance, security and availability, and also provide the design for a common infrastructure that is adaptable to nearly any application type, which is critical in this diverse industry.”

“Internal satisfaction with F5 products and services and our dedication to improving the ANGEL customer experience led ANGEL Learning to partner with F5,” said Don Scifres, vice president, services, ANGEL Learning. “Today, load balancing alone no longer enables organizations to achieve their application delivery objectives as business data needs to be available and exist in many different locations. As such, F5’s advanced platform becomes a prerequisite for successful application deployments that satisfy IT, business, and end-user requirements. The security, reliability, and performance of the ANGEL application have become mission critical. With the ANGEL–F5 alliance, we provide ANGEL customers a proven solution for delivering customer satisfaction.”

As ANGEL’s ease of use generates broad adoption across the educational enterprise, remote usage grows and the amount and frequency of information exchanged between systems increases. The F5 and ANGEL Learning alliance will help ANGEL customers meet current and evolving demands to deliver secure, reliable, and optimized data transfers and a superior user experience.
