Abstract. The article considers the introduction of the client-server technology system based on VMware Horizon in the activities of higher education institutions. The aim of the work is to develop a technical solution for the creation of educational or office systems based on the use of obsolete equipment that needs to be involved in work and optimize the financial costs for the purchase of new equipment. Based on the information review of possible ways of using outdated computer equipment in the activities of the educational institution, for the optimal definition of methods and tools for solving the problem, the methodology selected cloud and client-server solutions. The scientific novelty is the use of the VMware Horizon platform to deploy virtual desktops and end-user applications based on outdated computer technology. Special remote display protocols are used to interact between the user and the virtual desktop. Based on the VMware Horizon toolkit, the system was developed and implemented in the activities of Sumy State University (SSU). A study of functional characteristics by comparing the boot time of the system and standard applications for the user using VMware Horizon technology with modern PCs running Windows 10/11, confirms a fairly fast and comfortable operation of the system. Conclusions: The experience of creating and operating a virtual desktop system based on VMware Horizon confirms the feasibility and optimal solutions for the use of obsolete equipment in departments and classrooms of educational institutions. This allows you to quickly and cheaply deploy the use of obsolete personal computers in the work, conveniently and safely provide users with the opportunity to work with modern software products.
