Enterprise infrastructure strategy is being rewritten around the private AI cloud, as security exposure, spiking hardware prices and rising token costs push artificial intelligence workloads back inside the data center. What started as a virtualization refresh has become the main event for on-premises computing. That shift has put platform consolidation at the center of enterprise buying decisions, a theme running through this year’s VMware Explore.
