Servers and Configuration

• Our server racks are built of Enterprise Sun Servers running Solaris 10.
• Our strategic relationship with Sun Microsystems ensures that our configuration of Moodle is fully optimized for both the Solaris operating system and the hardware stack.
• We use Mysql Enterprise Server 5.0 which is the most reliable, secure and up-to-date version of the world's most popular open source database for cost-effectively delivering E-commerce, Online Transaction Processing (OLTP), and multi-terabyte Data Warehousing applications. We receive monthly rapid updates and quarterly service packs with the latest bug fixes of MySQL Enterprise Server

• We achieve over 99% uptime with software fail-over and redundant hardware configurations.
• We use Cisco ASA pix and switches to direct our current 100Mbps of available bandwidth.
• Every Moodle instance is backed up with on-site tapes and off-site storage synchronization.
• We make use of server virtualization and Solaris containers to scale horizontally and serve very large installations.
