Abstract
Deployment of desktop virtualization at university is the main subject
of the paper. The authors have analyzed and justified the choice of the zero
client technology with the Teradici chip and the VMWare View software. They
describe the cloud infrastructure of the university, present the results of the
project to deploy the virtualization technology based on VMWare View and zero
clients (330 zero clients), the advantages of using these solutions, and assessment
of effectiveness of using zero clients at the university. Using the zero client
technology reduces the cost of workplace ownership for 5 years by 1.5 times,
minimizing noise and power consumption, increasing data integrity, speed of
deployment of new workplaces and software update, efficiency of loading the
university's classrooms.
