VMware

VMware, now part of Broadcom, provides private cloud infrastructure and virtualization technology. The company's core offering is VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), which consolidates compute, storage, networking, management, and security into a unified private cloud platform. VMware's technology enables organizations to run virtualized workloads, containerized applications, and modern cloud-native environments. The platform includes vSphere for virtualization and vSphere Kubernetes Service for container orchestration, allowing organizations to deploy both traditional virtual machines and Kubernetes-based containerized workloads on the same infrastructure. The company addresses three primary solution areas: cloud infrastructure for consolidating siloed systems, application modernization for accelerating development and deployment of applications including AI/ML workloads, and security for protecting infrastructure against cyber threats with integrated compliance and end-to-end protection capabilities. VMware partners with technology providers including NVIDIA for AI infrastructure acceleration and AMD for AI workloads, as well as Canonical for containerized workload deployments. The platform is designed to deliver the scalability and agility associated with public cloud while maintaining the security and performance characteristics of private cloud infrastructure. Organizations use VMware technology to manage on-premises data centers, build private clouds, and support hybrid cloud architectures.
