Abstract
The presented paper describes the ad hoc prepared virtualisation solution for laboratory used for short term and rapidly changing additional courses for postgraduate students. Modern computer labs in today’s higher education facilities are equipped with dozens of computers and peripherals. In order to take full advantage of their potential, proper procedures in terms of management, maintenance and adaptation must be introduced. The layout of a modern computer lab for optimal use requires an appropriate selection of software and hardware. By using virtualization and thin clients, it is possible to set up very efficient and flexible computer labs, featuring an infrastructure which is oriented both towards the persons responsible for their managing and the users.
