Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ: AVGO) announced VMware Cloud Foundation 9.1, an infrastructure platform designed for production artificial intelligence workloads. The platform supports mixed compute infrastructure across AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA hardware.

The company claims the new version delivers up to 40% reduction in server costs through intelligent memory tiering, up to 39% lower storage total cost of ownership, and up to 46% reduction in Kubernetes operational costs for AI workloads. The platform also provides 4x faster cluster upgrades and 2x increased fleet capacity.

VMware Cloud Foundation 9.1 includes support for NVIDIA ConnectX-7 network interface cards and NVIDIA BlueField-3 with Enhanced DirectPath I/O. The platform manages up to 5,000 hosts and delivers what the company describes as zero-trust segmentation and continuous compliance enforcement.

"VCF 9.1 is a single unified platform that addresses all three and delivers one of the most advanced infrastructure for Private AI," said Krish Prasad, senior vice president and general manager of VMware Cloud Foundation Division at Broadcom.

According to Broadcom's Private Cloud Outlook 2026 report, 56% of organizations surveyed are running or planning to run production inferencing in a private cloud, while public cloud use for production inference was 41%, down 15% year over year.

The platform integrates with CrowdStrike Falcon Endpoint Security and supports Arista Universal Cloud Network through EVPN and VXLAN interoperability. VMware Avi Load Balancer and VMware vDefend are available as separate advanced services.

Several customers provided statements about the platform, including Malayala Manorama Co Ltd, which plans to use the platform for AI-powered content summarization and editorial assistance.
