Broadcom and Supermicro unify AI factory management
AI factory management is expanding beyond software and servers to encompass the physical systems supporting production workloads. Broadcom Inc. and Super Micro Computer Inc. are integrating their technologies to coordinate artificial intelligence infrastructure from hardware provisioning through lifecycle operations.
VMware AI Factory supplies the software-defined layer, while Supermicro’s management suite extends visibility into servers, networking, power, cooling and firmware. The expanded partnership is intended to give enterprises and cloud providers a more unified way to deploy and operate large AI environments.
“I wanted to … tell you why Supermicro for AI, why VMware and why we are peanut butter and jelly together,” said Somik Behera (pictured, right), general manager of cloud, datacenter and AI software products at Supermicro. “Together, every enterprise gets a one-stop solution: a single unified integrated solution across storage, compute, AI and an emerging AI-native application development environment.”
Behera and Vijay Ramachandran (left), vice president of product management and core infrastructure at Broadcom, spoke with theCUBE Research’s Christophe Bertrand and co-host Alison Kosik at VMware Explore, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio. They discussed how integrated infrastructure can reduce deployment complexity as AI shifts toward enterprise applications. (* Disclosure below.)
