BARCELONA, Spain, March 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS 2026 -- Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO), a global technology leader that designs, develops and supplies semiconductor and infrastructure software solutions, today unveiled the future of VMware Telco Cloud Platform, a private cloud platform for telco data centers designed to help global telco operators drive greater hardware efficiency and lower operational costs when delivering sovereign and AI services. VMware Telco Cloud Platform 9, built on VMware Cloud Foundation 9 with its own additional telco-specific capabilities, will empower telcos with a unified and horizontal infrastructure foundation to:Achieve an estimated five-year cumulative TCO savings of 40% compared to siloed architectures1;Lower power consumption and associated costs by an estimated 25–30% through improved server performance and VM density2;Achieve an estimated 38% lower memory and server TCO with Advanced NVMe Memory Tiering2;Reduce storage TCO by an estimated 38% with vSAN ESA Global Dedup2;Improve efficiency, governance and compliance through intelligent automation, integrated cost management, and proactive policy enforcement."Hardware costs are spiraling out of control, and the global demand for memory resulting from AI will further accelerate rising server prices. VMware Telco Cloud Platform, built on the industry's most widely-deployed private cloud platform technology, helps telcos dramatically reduce both their CAPEX and OPEX," said Paul Turner, chief product officer, VMware Cloud Foundation Division, Broadcom. "VMware Telco Cloud Platform 9 will empower telco operators to deliver the secure, sovereign, AI-native infrastructure that drives next-gen technology adoption, revenue acceleration and lowers costs."Empowering Telcos to Monetize AITelcos are evolving from providers of simple connectivity to offering sovereign cloud and AI infrastructure, leveraging distributed regional data centers to capture new revenue streams. VMware Telco Cloud Platform is evolving to support both 4G/5G Core network functions and data-intensive AI workloads on a unified and open platform, allowing operators to deliver sovereign cloud and AI. Planned capabilities to support better AI monetization in Telco Cloud Platform 9 will include:Private AI-as-a-Service: Inclusion of native tools, such as a Model Store, Model Runtime, and Vector Databases, will enable operators to offer turnkey AI environments to customers while ensuring strict data isolation and regulatory compliance.GPU Virtualization: The platform will maximize hardware efficiency and lower costs by partitioning single physical GPUs among multiple virtual machines. This will allow telcos to run high-performance workloads simultaneously—such AIOps for self-healing network management and Sovereign Edge applications for regulated industries—without needing dedicated hardware for every user.GPU-as-a-Service: A multi-tenant architecture will provide on-demand access to virtualized GPU power, allowing service providers to scale AI infrastructure efficiently and reduce operational costs while keeping proprietary data logically isolated.Enhanced GPU Monitoring: Real-time visibility into GPU and vGPU health will improve resource utilization and help eliminate the need for manual tracking.Automated Lifecycle Management (LCM): Built-in automation will allow platform teams to deploy production-ready private AI environments in minutes rather than weeks, eliminating manual setup and ...Full story available on Benzinga.com
