Enterprises pull AI workloads back on-premises as costs and threats mount
Enterprise infrastructure strategy is being rewritten around the private AI cloud, as security exposure, spiking hardware prices and rising token costs push artificial intelligence workloads back inside the data center. What started as a virtualization refresh has become the main event for on-premises computing.
That shift has put platform consolidation at the center of enterprise buying decisions, a theme running through this year’s VMware Explore. Broadcom Inc. has spent three years folding VMware’s accumulated products into a single stack, and customers ranging from small businesses to United Airlines, Audi and the London Stock Exchange are now running on it, according to Krish Prasad (pictured), senior vice president and general manager of the VMware Cloud Foundation Division at Broadcom.
“We have taken the goodness that people see in the public cloud, which is the developer experience, the agility, and we have combined that with the things people like in the private infrastructure, which is security, which is cost controls, the resiliency,” Prasad told theCUBE. “The combination is what VCF is all about, and that’s why customers are very interested in deploying it.”
