Just a month ago, the enterprise tech world gathered in Las Vegas for VMware Explore 2025, an event that signaled a new chapter for cloud transformation and AI-driven innovation. The event delivered powerful proof that enterprises can have agility with governance and scale with security, particularly as VMware pivots to a unified, private cloud approach through Broadcom stewardship. As the dust settles and teams return to their daily challenges, the momentum from VMware’s latest breakthroughs remains unmistakable.

Delivering Real Value with VMware Business Unit
At HCLTech, we’ve invested in our specialized VMware business unit, rooted in the Cloud and AI offerings. This is our practical blueprint for private cloud adoption across real-world enterprises. It is not just about technology. It’s about aligning AI and cloud transformation to business objectives, enabling app modernization and powering hybrid workforces. Our recent innovations, such as Cognitive Infrastructure on Private AI, VCF Powered by AMD and VelocITy V, demonstrate our focus on delivering tangible impact for clients, no matter the complexity of their landscape.
VMware Explore 2025: Standout Themes and Announcements
The launch of VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 brings compute, networking, storage and governance together with built-in AI, giving organizations one platform for both AI and regular workloads. VMware Private AI is now included in every VCF subscription, making it easier for enterprises to deploy complex AI services in minutes using automation blueprints, optimized drivers and accelerator kernels. The release adds features like model runtime, a model store for governance, data indexing, a vector database and an AI agent builder, which reduces the time and effort to build and run AI workloads. It also includes secure multi-tenant models, support for NVIDIA and AMD GPUs and Intelligent Assist, a simple conversational tool for teams to manage and troubleshoot infrastructure. The energy at the event was clear, with hands-on labs, community sessions and certifications creating strong opportunities for learning and sharing knowledge. Partnerships with NVIDIA, Canonical and AMD also highlighted how the ecosystem is evolving to help organizations deploy faster, save costs and stay compliant.
Broader partnerships with NVIDIA (for AI acceleration), Canonical (for optimized containers and AI workloads) and AMD (for MI350 GPUs) are driving the Next Wave.
What stood out most in Las Vegas this year was the seamless integration of VMware Private AI Services into VCF 9.0 and tied up with Canonical (Ubuntu). This empowers enterprises to confidently deploy secure, compliant and lifecycle-managed AI workloads on their terms. Advanced support for containerized applications, Ubuntu-based stacks and acceleration with AMD and NVIDIA GPUs (now supporting Blackwell architecture) provides organizations with tools for addressing future data requirements. The new Intelligent Assist feature brings a conversational interface to infrastructure management, helping teams resolve issues faster and with less friction.
Making a Difference for Clients
These innovations aren’t just technical milestones; They’re game changers for regulated sectors—financial services, healthcare, government, where compliance, cyber-resilience and operational control are non-negotiable. Working with HCLTech means accessing deep expertise, proven methodology and co-innovation models to accelerate modernization while managing cost and risk.
The Bigger Picture: Strategic Trends and HCLTech’s Vision
The cloud landscape is shifting from fragmentation to consolidation, moving from sprawling public platforms to intelligent, AI-native private clouds. Organizations are repatriating workloads to regain control and optimize cost, compliance and data sovereignty. HCLTech’s approach, blending consulting, engineering and ecosystem partnerships, ensures our clients remain ahead of every curve and disruption.
Next Steps for Enterprises
For enterprises embarking on their next digital transformation, HCLTech and Broadcom offer a forward-thinking roadmap. Our global labs, training programs and solution accelerators are designed to remove friction and boost confidence in VMware implementation. Leaders are encouraged to leverage tailored workshops and strategic assessments to unlock the full potential of private cloud and AI innovation.
