Broadcom recently announced VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9, the future of VCF that will accelerate customers’ transition from siloed IT architectures to a unified and integrated private cloud platform that lowers cost and risk. VMware Cloud Foundation 9 will radically simplify the deployment, consumption and operations of a secure and cost-effective private cloud.

As the company puts it, VMware Cloud Foundation is the industry’s first private cloud platform to offer the scale and agility of public cloud services, combined with the security, resilience, and performance of a private cloud—all while maintaining a low total cost of ownership (TCO). VCF empowers customers to accelerate digital transformation through faster infrastructure modernization, a unified cloud experience, enhanced cyber resiliency, and robust platform security, all at a reduced TCO.

“To break the infrastructure silos, reclaim control of public cloud sprawl, and capture the opportunity for AI in the enterprise, our customers are shifting from best-of-breed siloed architectures to a modern private cloud platform,” said Krish Prasad, senior vice president and general manager, VCF Division at Broadcom. “VMware Cloud Foundation 9 will redefine the landscape for private cloud by delivering a modern, integrated platform that will unify operations and automation to deliver a cloud experience that enables businesses to be more innovative, efficient, resilient and secure.”

Broadcom has also announced VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Advanced Services, a catalog of ready-to-deploy solutions, enabling customers to accelerate innovation in their private cloud environments. This diverse library of private cloud solutions are similar to what enterprises have come to expect in the public cloud, allowing them to access the tools and technologies they need to rapidly address a variety of use cases and business opportunities.

Whether customers use VCF Advanced Services on their own or with the help of a certified VMware Partner, each solution is fully vetted by Broadcom, with prescriptive architectural guidance to help speed deployment and time to value. Details on the complete catalog of services are available here.
