for you guys. I know I've been following the endeavors and some of the buildup to this. What should customers expect in VCF9? This is big news. You guys had a lot of promises, more innovation. What should they expect? It's a big moment. Yeah, before I go into the innovations we have, I think Hawk touched on it. You know, coming into Broadcom from VMware, I came from VMware. I have been a VMware veteran for 10 years. I can tell you that the level of investment that we have put into VCF9 was not possible in VMware. You know, Broadcom has a real focus on innovation and Hawk is willing to invest in innovation. And that's what we have done with VCF9. And think of VCF9 as the next generation of our platform. And it couldn't come at a better time because of the AI trends that are happening and the sovereign trends across the globe that are happening. People are shifting more and more to the private cloud. And what you have in the platform is twofold. One is we are actually raising the bar for the experience of the cloud, both from an operation standpoint as well as from a developer consumption standpoint. Both those bars have been lifted in VCF9.

TL;DR

  • VCF 9.0 represents a major platform release enabled by Broadcom's increased investment in VMware innovation following the acquisition
  • The release targets AI workload requirements and sovereignty trends driving enterprises back to private cloud infrastructure
  • Key improvements focus on operational experience for infrastructure teams and developer consumption capabilities

Summary

Krish Prasad, General Manager of Broadcom's VMware Cloud Foundation Division, discusses the June 2024 release of VCF 9.0 in this brief interview. Prasad emphasizes that Broadcom's acquisition has enabled significantly greater investment in innovation than was possible under VMware's previous ownership structure. He positions VCF 9.0 as a next-generation platform release timed to address emerging AI workload requirements and global sovereignty trends driving private cloud adoption. The release focuses on two primary improvement areas: enhanced operational experience for infrastructure teams and improved developer consumption models. Prasad frames the release as raising the bar for private cloud capabilities in response to market shifts toward on-premises infrastructure for AI and data sovereignty requirements.
