Hello,
I hope anyone is able to help me. I was assigned the tasks to implement a Moodle Portal for internal use of the IT department, we have been working for about 6 months and is working great. Now the main company wants to roll this to the whole company. So now I have the task to get more information on how to create a Moodle environment for about 4500 Associates.
Right now what I have in place is a VM with 2 vCPU, 4GB memory, and 80GB for Hard Disk Space.
The questions I have are as follows:
1. What Virtual Server Specs do I need for about 4500 users? It will definitely not be all 4500 users using the system at once, but I need to make a budget on a business end to see what needs to be implemented.
2. Most of the software and databases we use run on Microsoft SQL and IIS. I know that the recommendation for Moodle is to be in MySQL or MariaDB, but I will like to know if, from the enterprise environment is possible is a good practice to keep it in Linux and MySQL or is a good recommendation to move it to a Windows Server with IIS and MSSQL?
3. From the enterprise standpoint, I know there are other platforms that are open source but only if they are not implemented in a large scale environment. Do I have restrictions (users, instances, etc) to implement this in the large corporation?
4. Apart from support forums, what other support is available? Does Moodle have support services available for purchase? What are the costs, if any?
I am looking for as much information as possible to present it to my company and I truly appreciate your help in this matter.
