Leading intelligent language and content company accelerates remote work transition for 1,500 global employees with Nasuni® and Amazon

SDL leverages Amazon WorkSpaces and Nasuni cloud file services for a fast, painless transition to virtual desktops for remote workers

SDL is the world’s leading intelligent language and content company, and works with 90 of the globe’s top brands. It has 1,400 in-house linguists, alongside engineers, testers, and content management experts, located across 63 offices worldwide. The company translates around 302 billion words per year, and prides itself on helping customers overcome their complex language and content challenges. The file data associated with that work needs to be stored, protected, and easily shared on a global scale, so SDL traded its traditional infrastructure for Nasuni. When the COVID-19 pandemic struck, SDL needed to find a way to continue delivering its valued service while enabling its globally distributed employees to work remotely. With the help of Amazon WorkSpaces and Nasuni, SDL quickly deployed 1,500 virtual desktops in the cloud along with cloud-based access to file shares, and the business continued delivering as usual.
