As the company that coined the concept of the software-defined data centre , and cut through the cloud hype with the multi-cloud and the hybrid cloud, VMware is now making its mark in the artificial intelligence market with the launch of Private AI.
VMware started working with GenAI, using it for AI-assisted code development, and overcoming the many challenges involved led it to setting up the AI Labs to help customers through the same journey.At the end of the day, data plus compute represents AI, with AI itself being a multi-cloud use case. Privacy must be at the centre of AI, but so must choice. “We cannot bet on a single stack,” Wolf says. “So you have to have a platform where optionality is built in.
VMware Private AI Open Ecosystems are enabling the development of new applications, while more global systems integrators are also joining the ecosystem. “For decades, Intel and VMware have delivered next-generation data center-to-cloud capabilities that enable customers to move faster, innovate more, and operate efficiently,” says Sandra Rivera, executive vice-president and GM of the Data Centre and AI Group at Intel.
