Hapag-LloydHapag-Lloyd Extends VMware NSX Across Infrastructure Modernization
Hapag-Lloyd, an industrials organization in Germany, uses VMware NSX from VMware to support datacenter exit planning for migration squads.
Migration squads at Hapag-Lloyd review workload migration in VMware NSX rather than in personal files.
“Inside Hapag-Lloyd, datacenter exit planning used to depend on whoever still had the latest file.”
“Migration squads needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.”

Value results
| Category | Value result |
|---|---|
| Productivity | Fewer stalled items because workload migration has a clear owner |
| Productivity | Handoffs in datacenter exit planning sit in a shared queue instead of a mailbox trail |
| Risk and compliance | VMware NSX is the governed place migration squads use for datacenter exit planning |
Story
Inside Hapag-Lloyd, datacenter exit planning used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in industrials groups working out of Germany. Migration squads needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Hapag-Lloyd 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 Hapag-Lloyd 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.
