About the project

The purpose of this project is to set up a robust and comprehensive platform for Moodle with a complete infrastructure. The platform will be used by Orange Business Services to provide their technicians with training materials so that they can develop their skills.

The objectives of the project include setting up a virtualization platform, servers, database, web server, SSO solution and a fully functional Moodle installation.
To ensure the platform’s reliability it must be secure, redundant, and scalable, capable of handling an audience of between 50-100 users.
All configurations, technologies and maintenance shall be documented in detail so that the solution can be put into production later.

For this project to succeed the platform must meet the following requirements:

  • Must be secure against unauthorized access and tested for known vulnerabilities.
  • Web server and database shall be configured with redundancy and load balancing.
  • The service and underlying infrastructure will be monitored for operational disruptions using the TICK stack.
  • All configurations, choices of services and technologies, and necessary maintenance tasks shall be well documented.

Scope of Work:

  • Set up a virtualization platform and servers
  • Secure the platform against known vulnerabilities.
  • Perform a virtual clustering and configure the firewall to prevent unauthorized access from outside sources.
  • Configuring the web server and database with redundancy and load balancing.
  • Setting up a SSO solution.
  • Installing and configuring Moodle.
  • Installing and configuring the TICK Stack.
  • Testing the platform.
  • Document all configurations, technologies, and maintenance tasks.

Setting up a secure, redundant, and scalable platform for Moodle, will enable Orange Business Services to provide their technicians with flexible e-learning materials.
This platform will ensure that technicians have access to training materials at any time, regardless of their physical location.
