Story
Information Technology work at Western Digital spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in the United States. Workload migration was splitting across regional habits. Migration squads asked for a shared way to run datacenter exit planning without freezing local judgment.
VMware (Tanzu) is what they standardized on. VMware, part of Broadcom, provides virtualization, private cloud, and container software used to run enterprise data centers. Western Digital uses it as the system of record for workload migration, with migration squads as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
Leaders get a picture they can actually walk. Teams get fewer mystery statuses. The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
