Summary/Abstract: The article describes the causes of the economic and organizational case for implementing VDI solutions in the learning centers of universities. The analysis of laboratory infrastructure allows to better understand the broad ability to adapt to VDI as well as the range of benefits administrators and research and teaching staff receive. In addition to the benefit analysis a case study of the implementation of the model solution at the University of Economics in Wroclaw is shown, which includes more than 240 terminals of a „true zero-client” and more than 400 virtualized systems available to students in 9 laboratories. The article presents a selection of experience from the project. Described implementation is based on VMware Horizon View.
