A high-availability, always-up platform that delivers your business-critical applications to any device, anywhere — while keeping your data private, encrypted and secure.
CT-Net Cloud is a Platform as a Service (PaaS) solution — a high-availability, always-up service that provides access to your business-critical applications from anywhere, at any time, while making sure that you are protected and that your data is secure.
Using the CT-Net Cloud Solution offers many benefits. It allows you to set up what is essentially a virtual office, giving you the flexibility of connecting to your business anywhere, any time. With the growing number of web-enabled devices used in today's business environment — smartphones, tablets and laptops — access to your data is more comfortable than ever.
We take care of the infrastructure — servers, storage, networking, patching and round-the-clock monitoring — so your team is free to focus on teaching, learning and running the business, rather than maintaining IT.
Benefits of moving to the CT-Net Cloud
Reduced IT Costs
Cost-saving is the most significant benefit of the CT-Net Cloud. It removes substantial capital expense because there are no physical hardware investments to make. Instead of buying expensive systems and equipment, you draw on the shared resources of the CT-Net Cloud, shifting from up-front CapEx to a predictable monthly operating cost. Because we manage every hardware and software component, you also avoid the hidden costs of maintenance, power, cooling, licensing and specialist IT staff.
Scalability
Add or release capacity on demand. Whether you onboard fifty or five thousand new users at the start of a term, the platform scales to match — and scales back down afterwards — so you only ever pay for what you actually use. No more over-provisioning "just in case", and no scrambling for hardware when demand spikes.
Flexibility of Work Practices
A virtual office means staff and students can work from home, from campus or on the road, on whatever device is closest to hand. The experience stays consistent across desktop, tablet and phone, making the CT-Net Cloud a natural fit for hybrid, remote and distance-learning models.
Security
Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest, protected by role-based access controls, firewalls and continuous monitoring. Automated, off-site backups and a tested disaster-recovery plan mean your information survives hardware failure, ransomware and simple human error. Our practices are aligned to ISO/IEC 27001.
Productivity
Because the platform is always up and maintained for you, there is no waiting on overnight maintenance windows and no recovering from server crashes. Centralised management, single sign-on and anywhere-access remove day-to-day friction, so people spend their time on work instead of on IT.
Reliability
The CT-Net Cloud runs on redundant, high-availability infrastructure with automatic failover. If one component fails, another immediately takes over — backed by service-level commitments for uptime so your critical applications stay online when you need them.
Managed Learning Management System
Moodle Hosting
We host, tune and maintain your Moodle Learning Management System on the CT-Net Cloud, on a stack optimised specifically for the way Moodle works. You get a fast, stable LMS without having to manage servers, PHP versions, databases or caching yourself.
From a handful of courses to an institution-wide rollout, we keep Moodle patched, backed up and running — and we scale it quietly in the background when enrolment and exam periods put it under load.
What's included
Performance-tuned for Moodle. A stack (PHP, database, Redis caching and CDN) configured and tuned specifically for Moodle's workloads, so pages load quickly even under exam-day load.
Managed updates & plugins. Core and security updates, version upgrades and plugin management handled for you — safely, and on a schedule that suits your academic calendar.
Daily automated backups. Automated daily backups with rapid, tested restores, so a mistake or failure never means lost coursework or grades.
Elastic scaling. Capacity that grows for registration, assessment and exam peaks, then eases back afterwards — you pay for the load you actually carry.
Hardened security. SSL everywhere, web-application firewalling, monitoring and access controls aligned to ISO/IEC 27001 to protect student data.
Staging environment. A separate staging copy of your site to trial new plugins, themes and upgrades before they ever reach your live learners.
Integrations. Support for single sign-on, student-information systems, payment gateways and plagiarism tools so Moodle fits your existing ecosystem.
99% uptime target. Proactive monitoring and support with a 99% availability target, so learning carries on around the clock.
Streaming built for learning
Video as a Service for Moodle
Serving video straight from a standard LMS quickly overwhelms it — playback stutters and the whole site slows down. Our Video as a Service adds a dedicated streaming platform alongside your Moodle, so lecture recordings, tutorials and live sessions play back smoothly while the rest of your site stays fast.
Lecturers upload once; we transcode, store and stream the content, embedded neatly inside the courses and activities your students already use.
Capabilities
Adaptive streaming. Adaptive-bitrate delivery automatically adjusts quality to each learner's connection and device, so playback stays smooth on campus Wi-Fi or a mobile network.
Automatic transcoding. Uploads are converted into web-ready formats and resolutions automatically — no manual encoding, no unsupported-file support tickets.
Embedded in Moodle. Videos embed directly inside Moodle courses, labels and activities, so the experience is seamless for both lecturers and students.
Access-controlled playback. Only enrolled, authenticated students can watch — content is protected against casual downloading and unauthorised sharing.
Live streaming. Run virtual classrooms and webinars live, then publish the recording to the course automatically for anyone who missed it.
Engagement analytics. See who watched what, and for how long — useful signals for attendance, engagement and spotting learners who may be falling behind.
Scalable storage & bandwidth. Storage and delivery that grow with your library, from a few recordings to a full archive of every lecture, term after term.
Captions & accessibility. Support for captions and subtitles helps you meet accessibility requirements and makes content usable for every learner.
