Case Study: AP University of Applied Sciences and Arts Antwerp improves Moodle database performance with ClusterControl from Severalnines

AP University of Applied Sciences and Arts Antwerp - Customer Case Study

AP University of Applied Sciences and Arts Antwerp, a large Belgian university, required a robust database solution for its Moodle e-learning platform serving over 14,000 students. Their IT team, lacking specialized database knowledge, struggled with self-made scripts that resulted in broken replications, performance issues, and constant maintenance challenges. This led them to seek a solution from Severalnines.

Severalnines provided its ClusterControl platform to automate the deployment and management of a highly available MariaDB cluster. The solution gave the university’s IT team critical insights through query monitoring to identify and fix performance bottlenecks, automated recovery from failures, and streamlined backup processes. The implementation by Severalnines significantly improved system stability and performance while drastically reducing the team’s administrative workload.
