Since Broadcom acquired the company last November,  VMware’s Cloud Foundation (VCF) has been posited by no less than Broadcom CEO Hock Tan as the vendor’s future-looking innovation platform. Built to address critical enterprise infrastructure challenges, the VCF platform tackles the pain points that hinder innovation. These challenges include network complexity, the need for robust security and resilience, and attracting developers. As a solution that directly addresses these priorities, VCF positions Broadcom to deliver exceptional value to its customers. A private cloud is a model of cloud computing where the infrastructure is dedicated to a single organization comprising multiple consumers (e.g., business units, DevOps teams, etc.). A private cloud can be hosted at an organization’s own  data center, in a third-party colocation facility or via a hyperscaler or communication service provider. Importantly, a fully realized private cloud combines the scale and agility of a public cloud with the security and performance of on-premises infrastructure. To discuss the strategy and direction of VCF in helping infrastructure teams deliver a public cloud developer experience in their private clouds, SDxCentral CEO Matt Palmer is joined here by Krish Prasad, SVP and GM of Broadcom's VMware Cloud Foundation. In the interview, Prasad and Palmer also touch on the following, among other topics:

• Now that Broadcom is fully aligned behind VCF, how has the company changed the go-to-market approach with partners?
• What is VCF doing to make it easier for the developers, to deliver a seamless developer experience?
• New innovations VCF has recently introduced or plans to introduce, and what customers should be thinking about next.
• Why private AI has been a huge push for VMware, how private AI and VCF align...and what does that mean for customers?
