Private AI and Advanced Services on VCF: What’s Next? [INVB1960LV]
Dive into what the future holds for VMware Cloud Foundation. Attendees can learn how the VMware Cloud Foundation platform will leverage AI to streamline challenges, such as product support and troubleshooting, and how VMware Cloud Foundation will enable your AI applications and models to be operated more securely and efficiently. Innovative platform features are also shared to showcase how VMware Cloud Foundation will allow you to run a variety of PaaS and data services. Also see first-ever demos of new and emerging capabilities, and how we work collaboratively with our ecosystem partners and customers to bring compelling new solutions to market.
Generative AI in Cybersecurity [ESGB2324LV]
The scale and complexity of modern IT systems and environments can make it difficult to identify and respond to threats in a timely manner. Another challenge is the increasing sophistication of cyber attacks, which are becoming more targeted and harder to detect. The shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals is also a major challenge for many organizations, as it can be difficult to find and retain qualified personnel.
To address these challenges, Broadcom’s Symantec Enterprise Security portfolio has embraced GenAI to provide assistive features and capabilities that make it easier for customers to understand risks, threats, responses and policy configuration in their environment. Learn how Symantec is using AI/ML technologies to power a variety of cybersecurity use-cases within our solutions.
Private AI on a Budget: How the US Senate Federal Credit Union Made It [INVB1907LV]
Organizations are eager to leverage AI to propel their business, but one of the main concerns is keeping everything private. Small companies need to protect customer data and don’t want to give up any information or intellectual property to the big players they compete against. Building your own AI solution from scratch is possible, but it also brings risk—do you have a multi-million dollar budget to gamble with?
This is the chronicle of the US Senate Federal Credit Union’s (USSFCU) successful, small and effective implementation of VMware Private AI with NVIDIA, using limited resources and a small budget on Dell PowerEdge. Join us in this session to hear about our challenges and the winning strategies that brought USSFCU to deploy an AI solution on VMware vCloud Foundation that can be scaled up as you need, tailoring it to your organization.
AI Without GPUs: Using Your Existing CPU Resources to Run AI Workloads [INVB2189LV]
Graphics processing units (GPUs) are expensive, hard to acquire and extremely powerful, but there are many AI/ML applications that can run just fine without GPUs. This session covers how to use your existing central processing unit (CPU) resources to run AI workloads, what you can do, what you shouldn’t do and what types of problems you can solve without using any GPUs at all.
Take Control of Your AI Future With VMware Cloud Foundation on Dell VxRail [VCFB1311LV]
The need to bring AI to your data for security and control purposes is driving organizations to implement AI-ready private cloud infrastructure more than ever before. In this session, discover how VMware Cloud Foundation on Dell VxRail, which features the only jointly engineered HCI system with deep VMware Cloud Foundation integration, can put you in control of the infrastructure that powers your next generation AI applications. Learn about the latest release features that, when paired with VMware Private AI Foundation solution stacks, can deliver a simple, agile, and integrated infrastructure experience that hands you the keys to unlocking your AI future.
