AI factory management is expanding beyond software and servers to encompass the physical systems supporting production workloads. Broadcom Inc. and Super Micro Computer Inc. are integrating their technologies to coordinate artificial intelligence infrastructure from hardware provisioning through lifecycle operations. VMware AI Factory …
Arvato and Broadcom integrate security for sovereign private cloud
Sovereign private cloud services are becoming a practical answer for regulated organizations that need cloud operations without surrendering control of sensitive data. Arvato Systems GmbH and VMware by Broadcom Inc. are applying their decade-long partnership to that requirement. Arvato uses VMware Cloud …
When seconds count: Extending EDR to ADCs to erase the AI exploit window
Patch Tuesday used to buy defenders a short head start. Now the exploit often lands before the patch does since automated scanners can weaponize a newly disclosed vulnerability within hours. That inversion is pushing security teams toward virtual patching: shielding an application …
Agentic AI is compressing attacker intrusion timelines to minutes
Artificial intelligence has moved from a curiosity in the threat landscape to a working part of the intrusion, and agentic adversaries have infiltrated extortion campaigns, espionage operations and hacktivist activity alike. The speed of the tooling, more than any novel attack technique, …
Broadcom and Cisco tie AI factory deployment to workload needs
AI factory deployment is becoming a workload-sizing exercise rather than a custom infrastructure project. Enterprises need infrastructure spanning edge inference and large-model training. Broadcom Inc. and Cisco Systems Inc. are addressing that challenge with a validated design combining VMware Cloud Foundation and …
Lenovo and Broadcom target server costs with memory tiering
Memory tiering is emerging as a way to reduce server costs as dynamic random-access memory prices rise. In VMware Cloud Foundation 9.1, the technology shifts less frequently accessed pages to lower-cost nonvolatile memory express flash while keeping active data in DRAM. Broadcom …
AI adoption is outpacing security in critical infrastructure
Energy, manufacturing and utility operators are wiring decades-old plants into modern networks just as attackers gain machine-speed tooling, and critical infrastructure cybersecurity is where that mismatch bites hardest. Awareness of the risk is widespread, but action in many sectors is still lagging. …
Security becomes a shared job as AI widens the attack surface
Cloud providers and security companies are being pulled into tighter formation as artificial intelligence widens the enterprise attack surface faster than any single supplier can cover it. The AWS CrowdStrike partnership is one of the clearest examples, built over a decade of …
From metal to model: Private cloud gets an assembly line for production AI
Enterprises moving artificial intelligence from pilot projects into production are discovering that the hard part is no longer the model. It’s the infrastructure beneath it. Cost, tokenomics, data privacy and the manual labor of stitching together graphics processing units, servers, networking and …
Delegated authority turns the trusted AI agent into the security problem
Enterprise defenses hunt the unauthorized: the foreign file, the stolen credential, the behavior nobody sanctioned. Agentic AI security inverts that model, because the agent moving through the business was invited in and granted standing access to critical systems That inversion has opened …
