Over the last few years, information and communication technologies have been increasingly used in higher education. Likewise, virtual learning environments are largely replacing traditional teaching methods. Implementing complex e-learning systems requires both creating a reliable hardware infrastructure and using high-performance software platforms. This paper presents a few solutions for optimizing these two components, taking into account the changes occurring throughout the use of an e-learning platform, such as: increase in the number of users, web content, data trafficking, exceeding servers’ load degree, as well as hardware equipment. At the same time, it presents a few measures for ensuring the security of the information system within which this platform is operated.
