At VMware Explore 2024, participants experienced a focus on private AI and cloud repatriation as vital strategies for businesses. This was the first conference following Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware, which showcased the increasing trend of enterprises relocating workloads from public clouds back to on-premises setups.

Although the appeal of public cloud solutions remains significant, worries regarding security, compliance, expenses, and control have sparked renewed interest in private cloud options. In collaboration with Nvidia, VMware launched VMware Private AI Foundation to enable companies to tailor AI models and operate generative AI applications within their own infrastructure.

Even with the emphasis on private clouds, cloud migration continues to be a prominent discussion. Numerous organizations are still employing hybrid cloud strategies, utilizing public cloud services for certain workloads.

Nov. 1, 2024: VMware has enhanced the vSAN capacity in vSphere Foundation by 2.5 times, now reaching 250 GiB per core. This upgrade is expected to provide users with a more robust hyperconverged infrastructure solution for managing virtual machines and containers.

Aug 30, 2024: During last year’s VMware Explore conference, the focus was heavily on generative AI, particularly regarding the integration of AI applications within hybrid cloud environments. This year, the discussions shifted towards VMware’s collaboration with Nvidia to provide generative AI models and tools, emphasizing their relevance in a private cloud setting.

Aug 29, 2024: In his keynote speech at VMware Explore 2024, Broadcom CEO Hock Tan highlighted the updated version of VMware Cloud Foundation and envisioned a future centered around “private cloud, private AI, your own private data.”

Aug 28, 2024: As businesses explore third-party AI platforms that allow flexibility and avoid dependency on specific AI vendors or cloud providers, VMware, now a subsidiary of Broadcom, is emerging as a top contender. At the annual VMware Explore conference, Broadcom enhanced its offering by announcing support for a new model store for the VMware Private AI Foundation, integrating Nvidia components into its VMware Cloud Foundation 9 platform.

Aug 27, 2024: During the VMware Explore conference this week, VMware presented a new generative AI tool named Project Cypress, which will be integrated into its vDefend cybersecurity platform. Umesh Mahajan, vice president and general manager for application networking and security at Broadcom, noted that security teams often find themselves inundated with numerous threat campaigns and false alerts. Project Cypress uses a natural language interface to assist in quickly triaging and investigating high-risk threat campaigns. It provides context on specific threat campaigns to help security teams act promptly, recommends remediation strategies, and can even apply the chosen remediation through vDefend’s threat prevention features.

Aug 27, 2024: VMware has enhanced its software-defined edge products by introducing improved connectivity options and traffic-management features aimed at better supporting generative AI workloads. According to IDC, edge computing is set to play a crucial role in deploying AI applications, with spending on edge technology expected to hit $232 billion in 2024, marking a 15.4% increase from 2023.

Aug 19, 2024: Enterprise customers express concerns regarding VMware’s future trajectory, along with uncertainties surrounding licensing modifications and product strategies, following Broadcom’s acquisition. Analysts highlight that customers wish to continue seeing innovation throughout the VMware portfolio, while also urging Broadcom to prioritize integration, user interface design, and a smoother path to adoption.

Aug 25, 2023: Noteworthy announcements include a private AI platform created in collaboration with Nvidia, allowing enterprises to operate generative AI applications using their own data within VMware’s hybrid cloud framework.

Aug 22, 2023: During the VMware Explore conference, there was an announcement regarding a new IBM-managed service built on VMware Cloud editions.
