Why Moodle Cloud Hosting?
Moodle is a purebred WEB application. The only requirement is to have the latest version of the known browsers (Internet Explorer, Chrome, Mozilla etc), for stations to work.
We propose to use Moodle in the form of Software as a Service that is a modern and reliable way to operate computer systems of any kind.
Software as a service (SaaS)means providing software as a subscription service via Internet and is becoming more popular because of its ability to simplify the deployment and dramatically reduces the cost of ownership for the final customer. Based on this model and unlike the traditional way of software distribution:
1. Your company acquires the right to use the software on an annual subscription.
2. The software operates in infrastructure equipment installed in a suitable certified Datacenter that meets the highest safety, reliability and speed standards.
3. All users operate Moodle from anywhere, from any computer and any time they wish. There is no local installation, no prerequisite software module and all users are always "running" the last full update.
The cost of SaaS subscription covers completely:
• Use of software
• Using the central infrastructure equipment used for the operation of the software
• new versions of the software and all the administrative tasks necessary for optimal system operation (e.g. performing daily backup, compression / optimization database, maintenance of new software updates, etc.)
• Full user support.
Of the many advantages of the solution we mention:
• Very low initial investment cost
No supplies and expensive equipment installations required (servers, network, security equipment, etc.).
• Zero cost for maintenance of infrastructure equipment
There is no cost for the purchase of new system software updates, database, upgrades, technical employment etc.
• Zero cost for maintenance and software upgrades
Our benefits include Moodle upgrades for the entire subscription period, so there is no cost and effort for the supply and installation of new versions.
• Instant startup - Zero technical problems
The software is already installed and running on the Datacenter equipment and your company can operate immediately. Also because the Data Center hosting Moodle has a 99.99% availability you can be assured that your system will be continuously available.
Security
All Moodle data are hosted at the Microsoft's premier Data Center, Azure, trusted by thousands of organizations of all kinds worldwide. As only a small sample of dozens of security certifications this datacenter hosting Moodle has, we mention that this August the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) announced that the Windows Azure passed a Service Organizations Control (SOC) Type II imposed by the independent authority Deloitte & Touche on the foundation of trust principles, like security, availability and confidentiality. Windows Azure is the first Cloud service world to receive such certification.
