Introduction:
AI has moved from experimentation to a powerful engine driving organizational and business transformation. Yet many enterprises are still struggling to operationalize AI at scale. Barriers such as data privacy and sovereignty, infrastructure readiness, GPU scarcity, operational complexity and spiraling TCO continue to slow down production‑grade deployments.
At the same time, industry surveys show a sharp rise in enterprise GenAI adoption and a strong intent to increase investment in Private AI over the next few years, especially in regulated sectors where data must remain in sovereign or highly controlled environments.
To address these expectations, HCLTech‘s AI Factory - Infrastructure Services and AI Engineering capabilities in partnership with Broadcom’s VMware Private AI Foundation with NVIDIA, deliver a powerful on-prem AI solution that is secure by design and optimized to build, deploy and operate AI at speed and at scale.
HCLTech and Broadcom together bring deep domain expertise, industry-leading private cloud infrastructure and next-generation AI acceleration to deliver a trusted Private AI stack, one that is data-sovereign, cost and infrastructure-optimized and aligned with modern governance and compliance requirements.
HCLTech AI service expertise:
Deploying AI on a sovereign, GPU‑accelerated private cloud is only half the story; enterprises also need the engineering, operations and domain expertise to translate the platform into outcomes. HCLTech brings an end‑to‑end AI services capability that spans infrastructure, engineering and industry solutions.
HCLTech initiated its AI efforts in 2016 by establishing a dedicated AI research team. Today, HCLTech offers a full stack of capabilities, from silicon chip engineering and private AI infrastructure integration at the bottom to GenAI-driven service transformation and GenAI-powered value stream innovation in the middle and consulting on the top. We cover it all. HCLTech AI solutions drive innovation, efficiency and smarter decision-making, helping businesses unlock sustainable, scalable and measurable business impact and ROI through AI.
HCLTech’s AI Factory - Infrastructure Services, part of the HCLTech AI Foundry, provides a hybrid infrastructure modernization offering that spans consulting, assessment, deployment and management of AI workloads across private, hybrid and multicloud environments. With strong global delivery and decades of experience in hybrid cloud and data center modernization, HCLTech enables customers to deploy governed AI systems aligned with security, performance and cost expectations.
a. AI Factory - Infrastructure Services:
On the infrastructure side, HCLTech provides lifecycle management of Private AI infrastructure services, including:
- Datacenter AI readiness assessments
- GPU cluster design and deployment (NVIDIA Certified Systems)
- VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) deployment, lifecycle automation and multicloud integration
- SDN, micro-segmentation, encryption and zero-trust configurations
- GPU virtualization tuning (vGPU/MIG) and 24×7 GPUOps optimization
HCLTech’s AI Factory - Infrastructure Services practice helps enterprises significantly improve GPU efficiency using NVIDIA and VMware architecture.
b. Enterprise AI Engineering and use-case industrialization
Once the platform is in place, enterprises need robust AI Engineering to turn pilots into repeatable, production‑grade capabilities. HCLTech’s AI Engineering services cover:
- RAG architectures with vector databases (Milvus, Pinecone, Weaviate)
- LLM fine-tuning (LoRA, QLoRA, SFT) and scalable inferencing with Triton
- Model observability, monitoring, evaluation and governance
- AI-native application modernization and API-first enterprise copilots
Recent industry research highlights Retrieval Augmented Generation, software engineering copilots and workflow automation among the top enterprise GenAI investment areas, precisely the domains where HCLTech has built use case accelerators.
c. Industry-specific AI solutions (powered by Private AI)
Building on this infrastructure and engineering foundation, HCLTech offers industry‑specific solutions that are well‑suited to run on VMware Private AI Foundation with NVIDIA.
- Predictive maintenance and field service assistant
- Intelligent frontline support (agent assist)
- Banking KYC, fraud detection and risk intelligence
- Document intelligence and healthcare clinical automation
- Retail demand forecasting and supply chain intelligence
Through co-innovation labs, HCLTech enables customers to build validated proofs of concept inside secure, data‑bound environments on top of VMware Private AI Foundation with NVIDIA.
The value of VMware Private AI Foundation with NVIDIA:
Broadcom and NVIDIA partnered to create VMware Private AI Foundation, a platform designed to address these enterprise challenges while lowering the total cost of ownership. This joint platform lets you fine-tune large language models, deploy RAG workflows and run inference workloads right in your own data centers. You maintain complete privacy and control while getting the performance you need. The platform simplifies AI deployments with features like Model Store, air-gapped support, NVIDIA NIM™ inference microservices and NVIDIA Blueprints.
Built on top of VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), the industry-leading private cloud platform provides a secure, scalable foundation for AI workloads. What makes this powerful is how easily it integrates with your existing data pipelines, workloads and applications; everything runs on a unified platform using infrastructure and tools your
VMware Private AI Foundation with NVIDIA takes this partnership to the next level, enabling you to customize and fine-tune models for your specific needs, run secure private models and drive automated decision-making with your proprietary data.
The result? AI that works the way your enterprise needs it to, private, secure and ready to unleash productivity across your organization.
Conclusion
Enterprises need a trusted, high-performance and sovereign AI platform that accelerates innovation without compromising governance. Through their deep partnership, HCLTech and Broadcom are enabling the secure adoption of private AI for enterprises worldwide.
Together, HCLTech’s AI Factory - Infrastructure Services and AI Engineering expertise and VMware Private AI Foundation with NVIDIA deliver a secure, integrated Private AI stack that empowers organizations to innovate and scale with confidence.
