What are my options to deploy READ 180 Next Generation?
READ 180 Next Generation is a browser application where the server may be hosted by the district (Local Installation) or by Scholastic from its data center (“Hosted” Deployment). • Local Installation: The server computer housing SAM and the program software is located at the district and/or school. Workstations connect with the local server over a Local- or Wide-Area network. • Hosted Deployment: A Scholastic data center houses the program’s server software. District/school workstations use a connection secured by SSL to connect to the hosted server, so there are no school or district servers to purchase or maintain. However, for most districts, Scholastic recommends that media be hosted locally on an SMA inside the district firewall to reduce network congestion.
