This update provides enterprises with a unified, AI-native platform for secure and scalable private cloud environments. Broadcom has been steadily driving global adoption of VCF, positioning it as the cornerstone of the modern private cloud. According to the company, nine of the top 10 Fortune 500 businesses have committed to VCF, with customers collectively licensing well over 100 million cores worldwide. This level of penetration shows the growing importance of VCF as organizations balance efficiency, control, and innovation in their hybrid cloud strategies. ![Broadcom VMware Cloud Foundation]() #### Redefining Cloud Strategies with Private AI **Krish Prasad**, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the VMware Cloud Foundation Division at Broadcom, noted that enterprises are reworking their cloud strategies to emphasize private cloud adoption. The focus, he explained, lies in improving developer velocity and IT control while supporting cost-effective AI deployments. By embedding Private AI Services directly into VCF, Broadcom aims to give enterprises a secure, governed, and scalable foundation to develop and deploy advanced AI workloads. For infrastructure and cloud operators, VCF provides virtualization benefits for AI workloads without compromising performance. Developers, meanwhile, can tap into AI services natively through the platform, streamlining the path from experimentation to production deployment. #### Accelerating the Path to Private AI as a Service VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 is designed to make Private AI a governed, secure service. The entitlement, expected to be broadly available in Q1 FY26, includes GPU Monitoring, Model Store, Model Runtime, Agent Builder, Vector Database, and Data Indexing/Retrieval. These services aim to simplify infrastructure, improve privacy, and accelerate model deployment. By including Private AI within VCF at no additional cost, Broadcom allows enterprises to standardize both AI and non-AI workloads on a single platform. Looking forward, VCF customers gain access to several innovations now on the roadmap: - **Intelligent Assist for VCF**: A generative AI assistant (currently in tech preview) to diagnose system issues and reduce downtime by referencing Broadcom’s knowledge base. It supports both on-premises and cloud-hosted deployments. - **Model Context Protocol (MCP) Support**: A standardized framework providing governance and connectivity between AI assistants and content repositories or enterprise applications such as Oracle, SQL Server, ServiceNow, and GitHub. - **Multi-Accelerator Model Runtime**: Flexible AI model deployment across heterogeneous hardware, including AMD and NVIDIA GPUs, without refactoring applications. - **Multi-Tenant Models-as-a-Service**: Secure model sharing between tenants or organizational units, maintaining strict data isolation while realizing cost and power savings. #### Expanding Industry Collaboration Broadcom has also reinforced its partnerships with leading technology providers to improve VCF’s AI ecosystem. - **Integration with NVIDIA**: Support for the latest NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs, networking, and AI software, including [RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition](https://www.storagereview.com/news/enterprise-to-sff-nvidia-launches-rtx-pro-6000-4000-sff-and-2000-blackwell-gpus) and [NVIDIA B200 GPUs](https://www.storagereview.com/news/nvidias-gtc-2025-highlights-blackwell-gpus-dgx-systems-and-ai-q-framework), will allow enterprises to run increasingly demanding workloads on VCF’s consistent, secure architecture. This collaboration expands on the jointly developed VMware Private AI Foundation with NVIDIA. - **Collaboration with AMD**: Enterprises can now leverage AMD ROCm Enterprise AI software and AMD Instinct GPUs within VCF to fine-tune large language models, run inference workloads, and deploy retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) workflows—all while maintaining control over data privacy and compliance requirements. - **Partnership with Canonical**: Broadcom and Canonical are expanding their collaboration to enhance container-based and AI application deployment with open-source Ubuntu-based solutions. #### Delivering Infrastructure at Developer Speed For developers, VCF introduces features aimed squarely at accelerating modern app delivery: - **Native vSAN S3 Object Store**: Direct support for S3-compatible object storage, simplifying management of unstructured data while eliminating the need for proprietary hardware or external licenses. - **GitOps, Argo CD, and Istio Integration**: VCF embeds GitOps as the backbone for app deployment, leveraging Git as the source of truth. Argo CD automates deployment pipelines, while Istio Service Mesh enables zero-trust networking and advanced observability. Together, these deliver consistency, security, and centralized policy management across Kubernetes environments. Through its native [vSphere Kubernetes Service](https://www.storagereview.com/news/broadcom-announces-general-availability-of-vmware-cloud-foundation-9-0) (VKS), VCF enables GitOps-driven, self-service Kubernetes infrastructure. This balances developer autonomy with IT governance, providing multi-tenant delivery and observability without increasing risk. #### Customer Successes with VMware Cloud Foundation VCF adoption is not confined to the Fortune 500. Mid-sized organizations are also embracing the platform to modernize IT and support AI adoption. **Grinnell Mutual**, a regional insurer serving policyholders across the Midwest, has seen transformative benefits. Nicole Chesmore, Assistant Vice President of IT Security and Infrastructure Services, explained that VMware Cloud Foundation unifies network, systems, DevOps, DBA, and automation teams under one platform. This has improved agility, collaboration, and security, enabling Grinnell Mutual to accelerate innovation and business value creation. **New Belgium Brewing Company**, a well-known craft brewery, emphasized the operational efficiency derived from VMware software. Adam Little, Director of IT Operations, shared that the move to VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 will further streamline IT operations while enhancing security, compliance, and cost management. #### Shaping the Future of the Modern Private Cloud Broadcom positions VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 as both the evolution of vSphere compute and the foundation of the modern private cloud. By unifying AI-native services, enterprise-ready Kubernetes, and seamless integration with industry-leading hardware ecosystems, VCF enables enterprises to optimize IT control, accelerate development pipelines, and responsibly harness AI. The momentum—spanning Fortune 500 enterprises to mid-market innovators—signals strong confidence in Broadcom’s strategy to deliver a platform equally optimized for AI and non-AI workloads at enterprise scale.
