Level 5 Open House a Great Success: Next Open House in less than 2 Hours!
It's been a long day in several respects. We found out at 10:00 AM that our server bandwidth was too small for the amount of traffic we had with app the people watching the Level 5 Guides. First we moved the cable to a 100MB switch and that was ok, but the firewall was unable to handle to the resources. So, we ordered a higher end firewall and we are running faster than before. All of you who found the videos choppy (like when you are in a hotel with crappy Internet), I am sorry for the inconvenience. We extended the open house for an extra hour because of the disruption.
So, now comes the next wave from the other side of the globe. All of you who live east of England should be able to access the Level 5 site for free tonight at 10:00 pm - 12:00 AM (-6 GMT). You have to be a registered user to view the videos and your company must have port 88 open to view the videos on the site. We are working on changing that in the near future. It would be a great benefit to hear what people have to say about the Level 5 Guides so we can learn from your opinions and make them better. I have opened a new post in the forums and hope that anyone who watched will give feedback (both positive and negative) so we can work on fine tuning our offerings.
2 hours until the next Open House event. Thank God I bought a hardcore server to run all this.....
