Lionbridge
Lionbridge Technologies provides globalization, development, and testing services for enterprise applications and IT systems. A public company with U.S.$452 million in revenue, it handles complex translation, testing, and development projects that are shared among multiple sites. Lionbridge needed to centralize and streamline its process and create a more flexible, cost-effective, and secure way to build and manage its testing environments. It now uses Windows Server 2008 Enterprise with Hyper-V technology and Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 to create a Virtual Cloud Lab. To help enable secure global access, it also uses Windows Server 2008 Terminal Services. Lionbridge reduced hardware costs by 80 percent for its virtual LAB environment, standardized its testing environments, accelerated machine provisioning, and enhanced security and business continuity.
