Unlocking the Future of AI with VMware and Intel

For over two decades, VMware and Intel have led digital transformation, driving innovation and efficiency in IT organizations worldwide. Our partnership has empowered businesses to move faster and operate efficiently by providing consistent infrastructure across data centers and public clouds. With the launch of VMware Private AI with Intel on Xeon processors in November 2023 and the extension of this partnership to include the Intel Gaudi AI accelerator, we are set to revolutionize the AI landscape.

Knowledge Sessions and Demos at VMware Explore

From August 26-29, Intel and our partners are hosting value-packed knowledge sessions and presentations at VMware Explore. Visit booth #810 if you are attending, and check out the agenda and save your spot now.

Highlights at VMware Explore 2024 in Las Vegas will include:

  • VMware Private AI with Intel® Gaudi® AI accelerator including a demonstration of multi-modal Retrieval Augmented Generation use case for enterprise deployments.

  • Generative AI solution powered by the Video-based Large Language Models, hosted using VMware and Intel’s cutting-edge solutions from InfoVision.

  • AI models running on Intel Xeon with Numenta achieve uncompromised performance with better TCO and simplify the path for enterprises to implement AI.

A Powerful Ecosystem for AI and ML

The VMware Private AI ecosystem includes leading MLOps providers like Intel® Tiber™ AI Studio (formerly cnvrg.io), Domino Data Labs, DKube, and Kubeflow, as well as OEMs Dell, HPE, and Lenovo. Global system integrators like HCL and Wipro ensure a robust platform for deploying and managing AI/ML and Generative AI models. This collaboration offers a fully validated AI stack, allowing businesses to harness AI's transformational capabilities.


Empowering the Deployment of AI Everywhere

Unlock AI everywhere with VMware Private AI with Intel. Build and deploy AI models using VMware Cloud Foundation™, boosting AI performance with Intel's AI software suite, processors, and hardware accelerators. This integrated approach ensures efficient and secure deployment across the entire infrastructure, from data centers to the cloud and edge.

Our advancements enable enterprises drive greater innovation and to:

Enable Privacy and Security for AI Models

Build and deploy private and secure AI models with VMware Cloud Foundation’s integrated security capabilities. VMware vSphere enhances security with features like Secure Boot and VM Encryption, while Identity and Access Management solutions ensure that only authorized users can access AI models and data. VMware NSX provides advanced threat prevention with micro-segmentation.


Boost AI Performance

Achieve excellent AI model performance using VMware Cloud Foundation and Intel processors, hardware accelerators, and optimized software. The 5th Gen Xeon with Intel® Advanced Matrix Extensions (Intel® AMX) delivers significant improvements, including 8.7x higher batch Recommendation System inference performance and 6.2x higher performance/watt compared to 3rd Gen Intel Xeon processors. Intel Gaudi accelerators further enhance AI training and inference capabilities, providing a leap in performance for large language models (LLMs). MLPerf GPT-3 results demonstrate strong Gaudi 2 scaling performance. Upcoming Intel Gaudi 3 accelerators will further enhance AI training and inference.


Get AI Everywhere

Deploy a fully validated AI stack on existing clusters, leveraging Intel CPUs and hardware accelerators. This approach enhances IT sustainability and maximizes the use of existing infrastructure. Intel Gaudi accelerators are ideal for tasks like 3D generation, language translation, and visual question answering.


Our solutions enable several powerful use cases for enterprises:

  • Code Generation: Accelerate developer velocity with secure and private code generation.
  • Contact Centers: Improve customer experience with accurate and efficient responses.
  • Classical Machine Learning: Apply ML models across industries like financial services, healthcare, and manufacturing.
  • Recommendation Engines: Enhance consumer experiences by suggesting relevant products.
  • Accurate Content Summarization: Enhance generative AI with trusted data sources.


Conclusion

VMware and Intel's partnership demonstrates our commitment to digital transformation and AI innovation. With VMware Private AI with Intel, businesses can unlock AI's full potential, ensuring privacy, security, and performance across their entire infrastructure.
