Case Study: DigitalGlobe achieves rapid, agile satellite ground system development with Cloud Foundry

Launching the Next Generation Satellite Ground System

DigitalGlobe, a leading provider of commercial high-resolution Earth imagery, needed a next-generation satellite ground system that could move quickly and remain agile across multiple cloud infrastructures. To meet that challenge, the company turned to Cloud Foundry for a reliable application platform that could support multiple languages and help teams avoid getting locked into a single environment.

With Cloud Foundry, DigitalGlobe implemented an open cloud-native application platform for continuous delivery of microservices, agile development, and secure cloud operations. The result was faster development with less drag, scrum teams focused more on function than technology, and an open source path that reduced vendor lock-in while giving DigitalGlobe the flexibility to migrate workloads between platforms as needed.
