Recorded live at VMware Explore in Las Vegas, I sat down with Tasha Drew from Broadcom to talk about one of the hottest topics in enterprise tech: private AI. Fresh off the main stage, where she helped debut VMware Cloud Foundation Intelligent Assist and the expansion of VMware’s Private AI Services, Tasha shares her perspective on what’s driving adoption and why it matters now.
We examine the three core pillars of private AI: protecting intellectual property, safeguarding sensitive data, and managing private models with rigorous access controls. Tasha also explains how VMware’s Private AI Services are designed to move organizations from experimentation in the public cloud to production-ready deployments in their own private environments, delivering both privacy and cost efficiency.
From the launch of Intelligent Assist for VCF to the role of Model Context Protocol (MCP) in enabling agentic workflows, she offers insight into the innovations that are making AI-native private clouds a reality. We also dig into VMware’s partnerships with NVIDIA and AMD, the economics of cloud repatriation, and the practical reasons enterprises are choosing private AI over public options.
If you want a front-row seat to how VMware and Broadcom are shaping the next phase of enterprise AI, this episode captures the energy and insight straight from the show floor.
