Hi there,
We need to do a Moodle implementation for about 2 million users.
1- I'd like to know the different options to do this implementation.
2- For a solution with the mentioned number of users, how much will it cost ?
3- How will a database this large be managed ?
4- If the solution will be hosted, What privilige will I have in this case regarding the database and other backend system components ?
5- What are the problems that we might face ?
Thanks
Abdallah
Abdallah,
Catalyst IT (Newzealand) together with Rackspace (UK) has implemented a solution similar to this based on 2 Million users for Saudi Arabia , You can contact them to get a quote for that many users.
Thanks Usman - the current implementation is actually quite bit higher than 2M.
Abdallah - you will need to work with a Moodle Partner to scale to this size - pricing is dependent on how your users will use the system and what sort of content you implement. We could probably give you some indicative price ranges privately.
You will definitely need a managed hosted solution and usually with systems of this scale direct access to back-end databases is very limited to ensure the stability and reliability of a large system although if your needs are for reporting or integration with back-end systems solutions can be designed to suit those requirements.
I work for the NZ Moodle Partner Catalyst IT - we have offices in the UK/AU and NZ
