When VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 launched in June, it marked more than just another release. It was the clearest signal yet that Broadcom is betting big on the modern private cloud. In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sat down with Prashanth Shenoy, who leads marketing and learning for the VCF division at Broadcom, to discuss what the launch means for enterprises and how those themes are playing out live at VMware Explore in Las Vegas. Prashanth shares how VCF 9.0 was designed to help enterprises operate private clouds with the same simplicity and scale as public hyperscalers, while keeping sovereignty, security, and cost predictability front and center. He explains why this release is more than an infrastructure update. It's a shift toward a workload-agnostic, developer-centric platform where virtual machines, containers, and AI workloads can run side by side with a consistent operational experience. We also unpack Broadcom's headline announcements at the show. From making VCF an AI-native platform to embedding private AI services directly into the foundation, the message is clear: the AI pilots of the past are moving into production, and Broadcom wants VCF to be the default home for enterprise AI. Another major theme is cyber compliance at scale, with VCF now offering continuous enforcement, rapid ransomware recovery, and advanced security services that address today's board-level concerns. But perhaps the biggest takeaway is the momentum. Nine of the top ten Fortune companies are now running on VCF, more than 100 million cores have been licensed, and dozens of enterprises—from global giants to mid-sized insurers—are on stage at VMware Explore sharing their adoption stories. The so-called “cloud reset” that Prashanth has written about is not just theory. Companies are rethinking their cloud strategies, seeking cost transparency, avoiding waste, and building resilient, AI-ready private clouds. This conversation highlights how Broadcom is doubling down on VCF with a singular focus, a massive R&D commitment, and a clear vision of where private cloud is headed. If you want to understand why private AI, developer services, and cyber resilience are now central to enterprise strategy, this is a conversation worth hearing.

At VMware Explore in Las Vegas, the buzz wasn't just about generative AI, but about where and how it should run. My guest is Tasha Drew, Director of Engineering for the AI team in the VMware Cloud Foundation division at Broadcom, who has been at the center of this conversation. Fresh off the main stage, where she helped debut VMware's new Private AI Services and Intelligent Assist for VMware Cloud Foundation, Tasha joins me to unpack what these announcements mean for enterprises grappling with privacy, cost, and integration challenges. Tasha explains why private AI is resonating so strongly in 2025, outlining the three pillars that define it: protecting sensitive intellectual property, managing regulated or high-value data, and ensuring role-based control of fine-tuned models. She shares how organizations often start their AI journey in the public cloud, but as experimentation turns to production, cost pressures, data compliance, and proximity to data drive them toward private AI. We also dive into VMware's own evolution toward building an AI-native private cloud platform. Tasha highlights the journey from deep learning VMs and Jupyter notebooks to full AI platform services that empower IT teams to deliver models efficiently, save money, and accelerate deployment of retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) applications. She introduces Intelligent Assist for VMware Cloud Foundation, an AI-powered guide that helps teams navigate complex deployments with context-aware support and step-by-step instructions. Beyond the technology, Tasha reflects on the broader ecosystem shifts, from partnerships with NVIDIA and AMD to the role of Model Context Protocol (MCP) in breaking down integration barriers between enterprise systems. She believes MCP represents a turning point, enabling seamless workflows between platforms that historically lacked incentive to work together. This conversation captures a pivotal moment where private AI is moving from theory into enterprise adoption. For leaders weighing their next move, Tasha provides both the strategic framing and the technical insight to understand why private AI has become one of the most talked-about forces shaping enterprise IT today.

Factories don't usually make headlines at tech conferences, but what Audi is doing inside its production labs is anything but ordinary. At VMware Explore in Las Vegas, I sat down with Dr. Henning Löser, Head of the Audi Production Lab, to talk about how the automaker is reinventing its factory floor with a software-first mindset. Henning leads a small team he jokingly calls “the nerds of production,” but their work is changing how cars are built. Instead of replacing entire lines for every new piece of technology, Audi has found a way to bring the speed and flexibility of IT into the world of industrial automation. The result is Edge Cloud 4 Production, a system that takes virtualization technology normally reserved for data centers and applies it directly to manufacturing. In our conversation, Henning explained why virtual PLCs may be one of the biggest breakthroughs yet. They look invisible to workers on the line but give maintenance teams new transparency and resilience. We explored how replacing thousands of industrial PCs with centralized, virtualized workloads not only reduces downtime but also cuts energy use and simplifies updates. And yes, we even discussed the day a beaver chewed through one of Audi's fiber optic cables and how redundancy kept production running without a hitch. This episode is about more than smart factories. It's about how an industry known for heavy machinery is learning to think like the cloud. From scalability and sustainability to predictive maintenance and AI-ready infrastructure, Audi is showing how the car of the future starts with the factory of the future. If you've ever wondered how emerging technologies like virtualization and private cloud are reshaping the shop floor, this is a story you'll want to hear.

“We are an absolute recurring revenue engine,” says Ted Lee, co-founder of SmarTrak.ai, in a new podcast interview with Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News. Speaking from Cisco GSX and VMware Explore, Lee describes how SmarTrak.ai is enabling partners to transform data into growth, helping some global players reverse declines and generate new momentum in just 12 months. Founded with a multi-vendor vision, SmarTrak.ai began by solving a central challenge in the Cisco ecosystem: partners struggling to manage renewals and subscriptions at scale. The platform pulls data from 30–40 sources across Cisco, partners, customers, and distributors—then applies AI to generate actionable, prescriptive insights. Instead of static dashboards, SmarTrak.ai tells partners what to sell, when to sell it, and how to grow adoption. “We're beyond BI,” explains Lee. “Our AI is building presentations, highlighting opportunities, and giving sellers the recommendations that turn renewal data into recurring revenue.” Key highlights from the conversation: Recurring revenue growth: Partners are using SmarTrak.ai to drive hardware, software, subscription, and managed services sales. Executive-level visibility: Daily insights reveal whether a business is growing or in decline—and why—empowering leaders to take corrective action. Speed of innovation: As an AI-first platform with no legacy “technical debt,” SmarTrak.ai deploys new functionality in weeks, with measurable revenue results in days. Secure AI adoption: SOC 2 compliance ensures sensitive customer data stays safe—unlike dropping files into public AI tools. Multi-vendor future: While rooted in Cisco, SmarTrak.ai is rapidly expanding to support VMware and other leading IT vendors. Lee says partners see SmarTrak.ai as their “competitive advantage machine”—so much so that few will provide references, fearing competitors will catch on. For Cisco, for partners, and ultimately for customers, the result is a healthier ecosystem and stronger long-term value. To learn more, visit smartrak.ai.

In today's episode of the Tech Talks Daily Podcast, I'm thrilled to bring you an engaging conversation straight from the bustling halls of VMware Explore 2023. It's here, amidst the center of the multi-cloud universe, where I had the fortunate chance to bump into Andy Corcoran, the UK&I Channel Sales Director at VMware.  Known for his fervent passion for leveraging technology to drive positive business outcomes, Andy brings a wealth of knowledge and insight into VMware's approach to multi-cloud innovation. Our discussion kicks off with an in-depth look at VMware's partner program. Andy eloquently describes how this program is intricately designed to align with the evolving needs of both partners and customers in the cloud technology space. He emphasizes the importance of these partnerships in driving incremental business value, a testament to his meticulous approach in planning and executing business strategies. As we delve deeper, Andy shares his insights on how VMware collaborates with key partners to address the diverse and complex cloud technology needs of their customers. This collaboration, as he points out, is not just about delivering tailored solutions but also about ensuring that these solutions are effective and future-proof. It's a glimpse into the symbiotic relationships that VMware nurtures and values in its ecosystem. A significant part of our conversation revolves around the appeal of VMware's technology, particularly VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF). Andy explains why an increasing number of customers are turning towards VMware's offerings to enhance their business operations. It's not just about the technology itself, but also about the trust and reliability that VMware has cultivated over the years. Data sovereignty, a key focus at this year's VMware Explore, is another critical topic we explore. Andy highlights the importance of data sovereignty for organizations and how VMware Sovereign Cloud assists in ensuring this crucial aspect. He doesn't shy away from discussing the risks associated with the lack of a defined data sovereignty policy or supporting technologies, underscoring the urgency and importance of this issue in today's digital landscape. Private AI, another significant theme at VMware Explore 2023, is also a topic we touch upon. Andy provides a clear and concise explanation of what Private AI entails, integrating it into the broader vision of VMware. He navigates the complexities of balancing the benefits of AI with privacy and compliance rules, a challenge that many organizations face today. As our conversation nears its end, Andy shares his thoughts on the future - specifically, the challenges and opportunities he foresees for IT and Channel partners in 2024. His forward-looking insights offer a glimpse into what the future holds for the industry, making it a must-listen segment for anyone keen on staying ahead in the rapidly evolving world of cloud technology.
