This discussion at VMware Explore 2026 examines the VCF AI Factory and private AI cloud strategy and explains how organizations deploy artificial intelligence on private cloud infrastructure. Prashanth Shenoy of Broadcom, vice president of product marketing VMware Cloud Foundation division, speaks with John Furrier of theCUBE Research to review VCF AI Factory capabilities and deployment approaches. Shenoy outlines their experience in VCF product marketing and explains a metal-to-model turnkey solution, validated OEM and ODM server stacks, GPU choices including NVIDIA and AMD, model gallery runtimes, integrated operations and partnerships such as MetalSoft that accelerate deployment and simplify operations.
Shenoy highlights key benefits such as faster time-to-first-model deployment, unified day-zero to day-two operations, and certified server bring-up across Dell, Cisco, Lenovo and Supermicro. They describe VCF 9.1 monthly security patches and Private AI Services including Model Gallery, Model Runtime, API Gateway, governance and sandboxing, as well as multi-tenant model sharing and AMD and NVIDIA validated editions. Shenoy also presents the Frontier AI Security Readiness Program to assess and upskill AI-resilient administrators and discusses implications for AI infrastructure, hybrid cloud strategy and enterprise security.
