Subsea 7Subsea 7 Brings Workload Migration onto IBM
Subsea 7, an energy organization in the United Kingdom, uses IBM Cloud from IBM to support datacenter exit planning for migration squads.
IBM is how Subsea 7 keeps workload migration visible to people who have to act on it.
“Inside Subsea 7, 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.”

Story
Inside Subsea 7, datacenter exit planning used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in energy groups working out of the United Kingdom. Migration squads needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Subsea 7 uses IBM Cloud from IBM as the working layer for workload migration. IBM offers hybrid cloud, AI, and automation software, including watsonx, Red Hat OpenShift, and observability products for large enterprises. 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 Subsea 7 gets from IBM 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.
