Overview
- Broadcom introduced VCF AI ReadyNodes to certify next‑generation CPUs, GPUs and accelerators for AI training and inference, with Supermicro among the first OEMs to achieve certification.
- An ODM Partner Self‑Certification programme through the Broadcom Technology Alliance Program enables Original Design Manufacturers to validate systems independently.
- Broadcom launched a networking initiative built on EVPN and BGP to unify multi‑vendor fabrics, and confirmed NSX support for SONiC to simplify cloud‑scale operations.
- Edge‑optimised, compact and rugged nodes were highlighted for industrial, retail and defence use cases to place compute closer to data sources.
- Partners including OVHcloud, Intel, SNUC and Cisco publicly endorsed the open hardware and networking push, and VMware vSphere Kubernetes Service was designated a Certified Kubernetes AI Conformant Platform.
