VMware uses Nvidia-favored 'AI factory' brand to build something with rival AMD

VMware (now under Broadcom) announced its own 'AI Factory' product at VMware Explore, essentially a rebranded sequel to its 2023 'Private AI Foundation with Nvidia' bundle, but built around AMD hardware instead of Nvidia. The new offering automates hardware provisioning, software stack enablement, and lifecycle management, and adds the ability to deploy a model once and share it securely across tenants or business units.
