Transforming digital learning at scale
This case study delves into iOCO's strategic partnership with The Training Room Online (TTRO) to overhaul their digital learning platform using Amazon Web Services (AWS). Faced with the need to support up to 55,000 concurrent users, TTRO required an infrastructure that was not only scalable and resilient but also efficient and secure.
Context: TTRO’s expansive digital learning footprint
As a leader in digital learning solutions with a global client base, TTRO faced a significant challenge. Their existing system, limited by a monolithic architecture and lacking failover capabilities, was inadequate for their growing user demands, impacting both performance and reliability.
Challenge: escalating demand for scalable and resilient infrastructure
TTRO needed a solution that could rapidly scale to accommodate tens of thousands of users while ensuring high uptime and performance. The unpredictable nature of user traffic added complexity to this requirement.
iOCO’s AWS-powered solution
iOCO stepped in with its AWS expertise to craft a solution tailored to TTRO’s unique needs. Key elements of this solution included:
- Deployment of AWS Elastic Cloud Compute, Load Balancer, Block Storage, and Relational Database Service for robust and flexible infrastructure.
- Creation of a multi-availability zone setup to guarantee performance and continuous uptime.
- Development of a pilot environment to rigorously test each component’s functionality and integration.
Innovative problem-solving
Throughout the project, iOCO’s team identified and swiftly addressed emerging needs, showcasing their agility and depth of AWS platform knowledge. This included:
- Enhancements to system performance identified during testing phases.
- Strategic addition of AWS services to enrich the overall solution while optimising costs.
Business impact: a new paradigm in digital learning
The transition to AWS yielded significant benefits for TTRO:
- Robust scalability to support up to 55,000 simultaneous users, with flexibility for fluctuating traffic.
- Enhanced system reliability with reduced failure points through a redundant setup.
- Substantial cost efficiencies achieved by leveraging AWS’s scalable pay-as-you-go model.
- Strengthened security posture in line with AWS’s Well-Architected Framework.
Conclusion
Through iOCO’s expertise in AWS technologies, TTRO transformed its digital learning platform, achieving unprecedented scalability and reliability. This strategic move not only catered to their immediate needs but also positioned them as a future-ready player in the global digital learning landscape.
