Hi Howard and all
As I'm tasked to size a large moodle implementation for 25,000 students all running on moodle, every student will be watching average 2 lessons per day (each lesson is 45 minutes video + followed by 20 questions quiz), I can't estimate actual concurrent users as the tool will be available 24X7 and students can login at their preferred time.
As of now we are in planning and I need to raise a flag soon if moodle is not the right tool, it will be bad for business but probably better than failing at production (if you know what I meanI have few question I hope you can help me answer or even provide more guidance if I'm not seeing the full picture.
1) Is there is an official sizing tool that can take parameters and give proper moodle sizing
2) is there a cap on number of users/hits that moodle can't operate fast enough after or potentially fail
3) if I use a separate video streaming server, what would work best (VdoCiypher ? or else)
3) If I use separate video streaming server and embbedded link into moodle course/lesson page will all video streaming be done from video site to user directly without consuming moodle server bandwidth
4) if all above fails, for a rather simple functionality is there another better power horse LMS application I should divert my attention to rather than moodle
Many thanks for your contributions
