Excitingly, VCF 9.0 is now available for everyone to explore.
Another offering from Broadcom is VMware Live Recovery, providing an on-premises clean room/recovery space for cyber recovery during emergencies. This service offers up to 200 immutable snapshots per virtual machine, seamless extension of storage with vSAN clusters, and efficient scaling by expanding storage independently from compute.
Think of infrastructure as the backbone that helps you run your most critical business applications smoothly. The idea is to provide developers with a hassle-free experience, where they can instantly request an infrastructure service and have it up and running in seconds, instead of waiting for weeks or months. That’s the vision shared by Shenoy.
Broadcom is also stepping up with their private cloud solutions through VCF 9.0 release. One notable addition is the VMware Private AI Foundation developed alongside Nvidia. This joint AI platform solution enhances cybersecurity with air-gap support and introduces GPU-as-a-Service for AI workloads. With features like vGPU profile visibility and improved monitoring capabilities, managing AI workloads becomes simpler and more efficient.
According to early users, VCF 9.0 is a game-changer when it comes to breaking down IT silos that often lead to issues in infrastructure management. It also makes security patching across different environments a breeze.
Roger Joys, principal technology strategy advisor at GCI Communications, highlighted the impact of VMware Cloud Foundation on their private cloud strategy. By getting rid of IT silos, clearing technical debt, and shifting focus to high-value projects, they witnessed a shift towards a more efficient and secure approach. Faster deployments, swift security patches, and quicker rollouts are now a reality with their modern private cloud setup.
