Story
Inside Best Buy, datacenter exit planning used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in consumer discretionary groups working out of the United States. Migration squads needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Best Buy uses VMware NSX from VMware as the working layer for workload migration. VMware, part of Broadcom, provides virtualization, private cloud, and container software used to run enterprise data centers. The practical change is simple: datacenter exit planning has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Best Buy gets from VMware is a durable place to run datacenter exit planning and a way for migration squads to see the same workload migration at the same time.
