Hosting on AWS in Ireland
Sized for your enrolment peaks, so the platform holds up when the whole college logs in at once.
The problem
Most Moodle problems aren’t Moodle problems. They surface at the worst time of the academic year.
HostingUpgradesPluginsBackupsIntegrationsRollover
They are hosting, upgrade, plugin, backup and integration problems, and they tend to land at the busiest point of the year. We take those off your desk, so your team can look after teaching and learning instead of servers.
Who it is for
Colleges that run Moodle and would rather not run the servers.
One agreement for hosting, upgrades, support and integration, sized for colleges and training providers of every shape.
- Private and professional colleges
- Health and public-sector training organisations
- Multi-tenant estates serving several schools or brands
- Institutions moving off a departing supplier or an in-house server
What’s included
Hosting, upgrades, support and integration, in one agreement.
Every part of running Moodle well, from the servers to the academic-year rollover, with a named service desk you can call.
Patching and upgrades
Security patching and Moodle upgrades on a published schedule, tested on your staging site first.
Daily backups
Backed up every day, with a restore procedure agreed with you in advance.
Support allowance
A monthly support allowance, a named service desk and an agreed service level.
Integrations
Connected to your student records (including Innealla), timetable, authentication and reporting.
Academic-year rollover
Handled with you, every year, so the new year starts on a clean platform.
Moodle, Iomad and Innealla
Already running on Inneall, connected to everything else.
We operate Moodle for Irish colleges today, including multi-tenant estates.
Moodle and Iomad
Single sites and multi-tenant estates.
One platform can serve several schools or brands. We run Moodle, Iomad and the plugins around them, and keep the integrations that feed them working through every upgrade.
- Dublin Business School, whose Moodle estate we build, integrate and operate
- Moodle, Iomad and related plugins
- Integrations with student records, attendance and payments
Integrations with Innealla
Courses and enrolments that set themselves up.
Our Moodle plugin provisions courses, cohorts and enrolments from the curriculum in Innealla, our own student information system. We also integrate Moodle with other student record systems, timetabling, attendance, authentication and payments, through the same Integration Hub.
Upgrades and rollover
No surprises in term time.
Every change is tested before it reaches production, and scheduled around your teaching calendar, not ours.
Staging first
Each upgrade is applied to your staging site before anything else.
Checked end to end
Tested against your plugins, theme and integrations.
Scheduled with you
Production goes at a time agreed with you, usually outside teaching hours.
Kept current
Security patches follow the Moodle release cycle; PHP and database versions stay within supported ranges.
↻
Academic-year rollover, handled with you every yearRollover is part of the agreement, not a separate project, so the new academic year starts on a clean, working platform.
