Infrastructure reality check: Broadcom makes the private cloud case for AI
Production AI is pushing private cloud back into the center of enterprise infrastructure.
The shift is not just about where workloads run. It is about cost control, security, governance and the need to bring AI closer to enterprise data. Broadcom Inc.’s VMware Cloud Foundation strategy reflects that reality, as organizations weigh cloud economics against the demands of AI inference at scale.
“AI is driving a couple of factors,” said Paul Turner, chief product officer of the VMware Cloud Foundation Division at Broadcom. “It’s driving one, great opportunity. There’s compelling reasons of why people are adopting AI. One of the things that they need is that the platform that runs AI must be better, and that’s what’s driving VCF adoption today. The second thing that we’re really seeing happen is AI is actually a cost multiplier, because it’s increasing the cost of infrastructure. You’ve got to deal with the risks that AI can expose as well.”
Turner; Prashanth Shenoy, chief marketing officer and vice president of marketing of the VMware Cloud Foundation Division at Broadcom; and others, spoke with John Furrier and Gemma Allen at the Broadcom “Modern Private Cloud: A Secure Foundation for Production AI” event, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio. They discussed how Broadcom and its partners and customers see private cloud becoming a practical foundation for secure production AI. (* Disclosure below.)
