VMware Cloud Foundation offers AI, supply chain, and cost benefits

VMware by Broadcom's global channel chief, Brian Moats, discussed the advantages of VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) in addressing hardware supply chain constraints, memory and compute costs, and AI security features. Moats highlighted how VCF's memory tiering technology and integrated AI security capabilities are attracting customers seeking efficient and secure solutions, with further coverage provided by CRN.

VMware Cloud Foundation is gaining traction due to its memory tiering technology, which helps customers navigate ongoing hardware supply chain constraints by allowing for different hardware ordering and utilization strategies. This approach, combined with VCF's private cloud platform capabilities, offers significant benefits over public cloud and on-premise competitors.

Moats emphasized that VCF's integrated security features, built into the infrastructure layer, provide a more robust defense against evolving threats compared to bolt-on solutions. Additionally, VCF helps customers optimize compute utilization and reduce reliance on third-party tools, leading to substantial cost savings.

Broadcom's infrastructure software group, including VMware, reported an 8.75 billion dollar revenue in its third fiscal quarter of 2026, marking a 29 percent year-over-year growth. Moats urged channel partners to educate customers on the full value proposition of VCF and VMware vSphere Foundation (VVF), highlighting expansion opportunities in new workloads, AI-driven applications, and enhanced security solutions like vDefend and Avi Load Balancer.
