Cruise Line / Maritime Training
On-Premises BigBlueButton Deployment for Virgin Voyages
Virgin Voyages needed a reliable solution to deliver compliance training and onboarding sessions directly onboard its cruise ships. The system had to run in each vessel’s floating data center, remain fully operational without Internet access, and still provide resilience under restrictive Starlink connectivity. Meeting strict compliance requirements before sailing required a BigBlueButton cluster with Greenlight and Scalelite that could operate independently, without any Internet connection, and adapt to the unique constraints of cruise ship IT infrastructure.
