Case Study: Esade Ramon Llull University improves eLearning performance with MariaDB Enterprise Server

Esade Ramon Llull University supports 7,000 students with MariaDB Enterprise Server

Esade Ramon Llull University, a top Spanish business school, needed a more robust database solution for its Moodle eLearning platform. Their existing MySQL Community Edition performed poorly with approximately 1,000 daily concurrent users, causing low availability and slowdowns, especially for quizzes, which negatively impacted 7,000 students. This led them to evaluate MariaDB Enterprise Server for its high availability features.

The university migrated to a MariaDB Enterprise Server with a Galera Cluster, a process they found straightforward using dump files. The solution from MariaDB provided high query speed and support for a large volume of users, resolving the performance issues. The vendor's support team also helped quickly resolve an initial cluster issue, and the university is now confident in the platform's ability to support future growth.
