Broadcom Launches VMware AI Factory to Secure Enterprise AI Agents
Brief
Broadcom unveiled VMware AI Factory at VMware Explore 2026 in Las Vegas, introducing a software-defined foundation within VMware Private AI Cloud designed to help enterprises deploy, govern, and secure AI workloads from bare-metal infrastructure through to live model inference.
The announcement, made on August 31, 2026, positions the platform as a direct response to enterprise frustration over the slow, costly, and complex path from raw hardware to production-ready AI.
Paul Turner, chief product officer of VMware Cloud Foundation Division at Broadcom, said enterprises want AI running where their data already lives, but the journey from metal to model has historically been too cumbersome.
