AP Hogeschool Antwerpen speeds Moodle database recovery with Severalnines ClusterControl

AP Hogeschool Antwerpen, a large Belgian university, faced significant challenges managing the database for its Moodle e-learning platform. After moving from a hosted Blackboard solution, the university's IT team struggled with manual scripts, broken replication across data centers, and performance issues that impacted thousands of users. Without specialized database knowledge, they needed a professional tool to automate management and ensure high availability. They turned to Severalnines for a solution using its ClusterControl product.

Severalnines' ClusterControl provided AP Hogeschool Antwerpen with an automated solution for deploying and managing a highly available MariaDB cluster. The implementation resulted in improved system stability, easier maintenance, and valuable performance insights through query monitoring. The team also benefited from robust backup and restore functionality, which proved crucial after a database corruption incident. The solution eliminated manual work, increased productivity, and provided the scalability needed to support the university's critical educational platform.
