Story
Inside IDEXX Laboratories, platform operations used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in health care groups working out of the United States. Infrastructure and application teams needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
IDEXX Laboratories uses VMware NSX from VMware as the working layer for cloud landing zones. VMware, part of Broadcom, provides virtualization, private cloud, and container software used to run enterprise data centers. The practical change is simple: platform operations has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What IDEXX Laboratories gets from VMware is a durable place to run platform operations and a way for infrastructure and application teams to see the same cloud landing zones at the same time.
