Production AI Applications with VMware Private AI on VCF

You already have the people and the platform to run production AI applications in your on-premises data center. This episode of the Tech Field Day podcast, presented by Broadcom, features Tasha Drew, Gina Rosenthal, Jay Cuthrell, and Alastair Cooke. The public cloud is a great place to innovate and test new technologies or for bursty workloads where on-demand access to near-limitless resources is essential. Predictable and steady-state production workloads are often more cost-effective on-premises, and AI applications are no different. Your existing on-premises compute platform, based on VMware Cloud Foundation, is a great place to run production AI applications with more direct cost control while keeping your data on-premises. Running your AI applications on your existing platform capitalizes on your investment in software, hardware, and your staff, who won’t need to learn a new paradigm.
