An educational facility in Centennial struggled with recurring human errors during Windows updates that disrupted their web-based learning platforms, causing downtime and security concerns.

Challenge: Frequent user errors during system updates led to compatibility issues and system instability, negatively impacting the educational process.

Solution: Eboxlab recommended transitioning from Microsoft Windows to a Linux-based environment. The migration included:

• Switching the main server to a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) environment.
• Making code adjustments for improved performance and compatibility.
• Implementing the system within a local network environment configured as an intranet to enhance security by restricting outside access.
• Providing comprehensive training for staff on managing the Linux environment.

Implementation: The transition was carried out in stages, starting with a pilot on select workstations, followed by a full-scale rollout. Eboxlab supported each phase with training and technical support to ensure smooth adoption.

Outcome: Post-migration, the facility saw a significant decrease in downtime. The new Linux-based system provided robust stability and security, reducing update-related errors. The web-based learning platform became more reliable, greatly benefiting staff and students.
