Broadcom announced VMware Cloud Foundation 9.1, describing it as an AI- and Kubernetes-native private cloud platform for production AI workloads, according to Broadcom’s May 5 press release. The release adds mixed compute support across AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA, integrated security features including zero-trust controls, and virtualized load balancing via VMware Avi and vDefend, per Broadcom and NetworkWorld coverage. Broadcom and VMware blog posts cite infrastructure optimizations such as NVMe memory tiering and vSAN deduplication. In a preview of the Private Cloud Outlook 2026 report (compiled by Radius Tech in partnership with Broadcom), Broadcom reports 56% of organizations run or plan inference in private clouds versus 41% in public cloud, with 62% citing generative AI costs as a major concern.
