Moodles over 10.000 users

Hi folks, I'm putting together a report on Moodle for my bosses & a question they have is about larger institutions using Moodle.

If possible, could those who have Moodle installs or know of installs with more than 10,000 users let me know, here or off-list?

Thanks!

User accounts or concurrent users? wink

Have you got a good picture of what are the levels of concurrent access in your system?

Hi Martin, mainly looking for totals, I've got NZVLE down at >35,000? This is mainly for the 'are other larger U's trying this?' question.

I know we've had over 50 at a time, as we had a proctored exam with that many (while there were our usual 10-30 at the same time). On our system though we have a number of other PHP apps running, so whose load is whose gets a bit muddied.

 PS, do you know when is Penny's stats code going to be out and will it give peaks per/time unit?

NZVLE slightly over 40K at the moment, and growing. The stats are slated for 1.6, though we'll probably post an unofficial patch for 1.5.

We are also tracking concurrent users with SNMP, which gives me fancy graphs and stats to correlate with server load patterns.

Hi Michael,

Sorry that instead of contributing to your list I'd like to ask a bit about your server configuration. At a quick glance on your older posts would seem that you ran XServe? But one or many? How much ram and so on?

We ran our original Moodle tests on an XServe, one of the first ones 1ghz, 1gb RAM. Now it's on Red Hat Enterprise, on a dual 2.8 p4 with 3GB RAM.
