New Server for our VLE

New Server for our VLE

Hi,

I am currently in the process of moving over our current VLE using (1.9.1) to a newer server. Currently I have our new VLE server setup  (using 2.5) on a old server for testing purposes at the moment until we purchase a "newer faster" one.

I am wanting some advice on the specifications you would all recommend for a new server that will have potentially 1000 users. We will be using: OS: Windows 2008 R2 (as we have no knowledge in Linux) & DB: MySQL . Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks

Jan

Hi Jan,

There is a challenge to come up with a precise hardware requirements  in the first place before your do some test drives.

Have a look on my recent blog post http://www.moodledevops.com/index.php/people-systems-and-tools-around-moodle-application

I have tried to draw a big picture of a Moodle ecosystem in an institution.

After you build the initial structure you can always scale them up as the user needs grow.

Thanks,

Faruque
