Hi All,

Could anybody advise of experience where more than one server has been used to provide moodle in an organisation in maybe a cluster or farm architecture?

Also,

I am needing to test performance and responsiveness of my MOODLE box / package from some of my outcentres, can anybody recommend a suitable anayser package - response time etc.

Many thanks

Andrew

I don't know know much specifically about the clustering setup of Moodle. I would presume that it would be something of a traditional web application cluster setup with several web servers connecting to one big DB server (or cluster of DB servers if needed) behind some sort of load balancer.

As far as benchmarking / profiling goes, it would be more or less just like doing that for any other site / web application. One could use ab, http_load, or JMeter. http_load is the one I tend to use, it is more flexible than ab, but not nearly as complex as JMeter.

There were many detailed discussions about clusters here. Do a forum search.

performance testing and benchmarking the same.
