Case Study
Premium BigBlueButton Hosting for International Accreditation Exams hosted by LeafNet
Challenge
LeafNet needed a mission-critical BigBlueButton environment to deliver accreditation exams conducted twice a year. These high-stakes exams run for 2–3 consecutive days and involve examinees connecting from multiple countries worldwide, under strict proctoring requirements.
The challenge was enormous: any technical failure could compromise the integrity of the exams and disrupt entire academic cycles. To succeed, the platform had to:
Operate on baremetal servers with absolute stability.
Handle large-scale concurrency under real exam conditions.
Support live proctoring workflows with zero tolerance for downtime.

Our Approach
RIADVICE provided Premium BigBlueButton Hosting specifically tailored for high-stakes, international online exams.
Key steps included:
Pre-exam load testing — using BlueBolts, our proprietary stress-testing system for BigBlueButton, we simulated hundreds of concurrent users across audio, video, and chat to validate performance under exam conditions.
Hardware validation — in one of our tests, two weeks before the exams, we detected a rare CPU voltage anomaly on a baremetal server. This was an exceptional case among the hundreds of servers provisioned and highlighted the depth of RIADVICE’s validation process. We coordinated with the data center support team to proactively replace the motherboard and CPU, guaranteeing maximum reliability before exam delivery.
Re-testing for assurance — once hardware was replaced, BlueBolts was re-run to confirm stability and readiness.
Live exam-day support — RIADVICE provided dedicated assistance throughout exam sessions, ensuring smooth proctoring and uninterrupted participation for examinees worldwide.
