Technical Solution Summary
As part of the Saudi National Law on Data and User Protection, SiTech moved all of Doroob’s services from the cloud to a government data center facility.
Our team migrated Doroob Open edX® platform from Amazon cloud (AWS) to an on-premise data center. The architecture is designed to provide high availability and withstand load coming from thousands of students browsing media-rich courses. SITech implemented a containerized application structure orchestrated with Kubernetes. Application servers were behind firewalls into private VLANs and are continuously monitored by logging and management servers.
The platform also integrates with several governmental endpoints and provides reports and analytics dashboards to Doroob’s administration team.
