We have a number of different clients that are a similar scale to this. (some much higher) The ratio of 1 teacher to 10 students is amazing though!

The fact that your team is performing "testing" is a great sign - it does typically require a good level of understanding on how Moodle works to implement a site this scale - particularly getting things like the caching and database layer performing correctly. It can be really expensive to get this wrong and can easily double your hosting costs.

Hopefully your IT team has been engaging directly with a Moodle Partner in your region who has been helping them to design a system.

Moodle can cope with this level of users fine - however you do need to have the right people looking after the system with an appropriately sized budget for the hardware cost.

Thanks for sharing about the project here!
