Intel and VMware by Broadcom Partnership
Intel and VMware are enabling next-generation datacenter to cloud capabilities with the broadest portfolio of trusted software and enterprise hardware solutions; enabling businesses to move faster, innovate more, and operate efficiently.
VMware, Optimized by Intel®
Acceleration Optimized for Virtualized AI Workloads
VMware and Intel provide a holistic and open path forward, addressing the full data, modeling and deployment pipeline, with the freedom to compute on whichever architecture is best. Take to the AI open road with us, starting with getting the most out of the only x86 CPU with built-in AI acceleration optimized for VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF).
The top Cloud Service providers implement VMware and Intel deployment-ready products and solutions, harnessing the latest technologies, such as Intel® Deep Learning Boost, or MySQL optimizations, to deliver the best performance per dollar.
Modernizing Data Centers for IT Acceleration
VMware and Intel keep IT front-and-center in the quest for rapid digital business transformation, by providing IT organizations a clear path to digital transformation with consistent infrastructure and operations. VMware and Intel solutions, built upon software-defined HCI architecture, powered by natively integrated virtualization technologies, offer customers self-driving operations and management on industry-standard Intel® Technology.
Unlock the full potential of your infrastructure through hardware acceleration and security by design. VMware solutions optimized to run on Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors with built-in hardware accelerators for the workloads needed help enable faster innovation more efficiently at scale.
Transforming Networking and Security
VMware and Intel are transforming networking and security with the Virtual Cloud Network, a networking vision for the digital era. Built on Intel Architecture, a ubiquitous software layer across data center, cloud, edge, and other hardware infrastructure is enabled that creates:
- A cloud networking fabric with consistent connectivity from edge to edge.
- Security that is intrinsic to the infrastructure and not bolted on.
- A network delivered in software for maximum agility.
With this platform, customers are securing their application infrastructure wherever applications reside, embracing connections to the cloud, and unifying branch and edge environments across their businesses.
