Global Firm Cuts Server Hardware and Electricity Costs by Deploying Virtual Servers

Lionbridge Technologies, a localization services provider, needed to centralize its IT infrastructure. The company deployed virtual servers in its corporate data center by using Hyper-V in Windows Server 2008 and then upgrading to Windows Server 2008 R2. As a result, Lionbridge has cut electricity costs by 75 percent in its virtualized environment, decreased hardware expenses, and tripled server infrastructure while using existing floor space.
