An oversimplified approach I have taken in the past to explain wisdom is to share that “We don’t know what we don’t know until we know it.” This absolutely applies to the fast-moving AI space, where unknowingly introducing legal and compliance risk through an organization’s use of AI is a top concern among IT leaders.  […]

Today at the VMware Explore 2025 General Session, we shared several exciting private AI developments. It’s been three years since we first introduced private AI as an important market category. While we have our own offering, we always knew that private AI was bigger than Broadcom. The need to be able to deploy and operate […]

We’re witnessing a global awakening around data control, with Sovereign AI emerging as the centerpiece. Spurred by national security, economic stability, and growing distrust of centralized control, governments are demanding assurances that their data — and their citizens’ data — remains within borders, under local jurisdiction, and away from foreign influence. Sovereign AI is their […]

Whenever I meet with CIOs and AI leaders to discuss scaling AI, the conversation almost always starts with performance. The most common myth I hear is that you can’t have performance and flexibility at the same time. The thinking goes: If you want speed, you’ve got to sacrifice everything else, settling for rigid infrastructure, underused […]

Artificial intelligence is reshaping everything from application development pipelines to enterprise customer engagement strategies. But beyond the excitement surrounding Large Language Models (LLMs) and generative AI, a foundational transformation is also underway, one grounded in infrastructure, developer ecosystems, and operational control. At the center of this transformation is open source. Open-source innovation is at the […]

Prior to being acquired by Broadcom, VMware had been a long-time academic sponsor of UC Berkeley’s Sky Computing Lab. Our collaboration came naturally because we were both passionate about tech interoperability and innovating with pragmatism to solve pressing industry challenges. Of course, Broadcom’s history is also centered on driving innovation and interoperability through technologies such […]

When we talk about the transformative power of AI, what often gets lost is how critical the underlying infrastructure is to making AI workloads viable, scalable, and efficient. It’s not just about having powerful GPUs. It’s about ensuring the entire system, from networking and memory to storage and compute resources, works in harmony to meet […]

Many companies once felt that AI was out of their reach, believing they needed extensive infrastructure and vast resources to make it work. They were told that scaling AI required significant investments in public cloud platforms, which meant the risk of vendor lock-in and surrendering some control over their data. However, the landscape has shifted […]

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is at a pivotal moment, as more businesses realize that the best place for their AI operations might not be the cloud, but on their own premises.  The choice between on-premises AI––popularly known as private AI––and a cloud-based approach is now less about “if” and more about “when,” as companies recognize the […]

Since our inception, VMware has been driven to ensure that our customers and partners have a full range of choice in terms of the types of apps and services that they can run on our infrastructure. That core principle has also underpinned our approach to private AI.  Today I’m happy to share that among the […]

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is dominating boardroom conversations, and as a CXO, you’ve likely felt the pressure to leverage AI to deliver results fast. But chasing quick wins without a solid AI strategy often leads to fragmented systems, wasted resources, failed projects, and technical debt.  What seems like a short-term victory can quickly become a long-term […]

While the term Private AI has been around for more than seven years, it was often narrowly defined based on niche use cases. We saw Private AI’s opportunity and market reach as far more impactful, and have worked throughout the past year to add clarity, context, and innovation to what has now become a high-growth […]
