Open Ethernet gives organizations the flexibility to build and scale AI infrastructure on their own terms. Hasan Siraj, VP of Product Management in Broadcom’s Core Switching Group, explains how Broadcom is helping advance open, standards-based, high-performance Ethernet through the Ultra Ethernet Consortium and OCP. With Thor Ultra, an 800-gig UEC-compliant NIC, that work extends to interconnecting hundreds of thousands of XPUs for trillion-parameter models. The result: true choice at scale.

According to Omdia’s latest report, 67% of European enterprises now prioritize using sovereign cloud. This is reflective of the discussions at this year’s European Sovereign Cloud Day which marked a shift to a more sophisticated understanding of the challenges involved from simple data location ("Cloud IN Europe") to full strategic control ("Cloud BY Europe"). As AI adoption accelerates, sovereign cloud has become vital to keep sensitive corporate data and models protected under local jurisdiction. Read the full Omdia report by Roy Illsley: https://brcm.tech/4gSWm8M Broadcom believes that turning these sovereignty goals into reality requires a strong European partner ecosystem. We empower local Cloud Service Providers with VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) to run mission-critical cloud and AI workloads securely under local jurisdiction, delivering digital resilience across the region. #EUSovCloudDay

For Vijay Janapaty, Vice President and General Manager of the Physical Layer Products division at Broadcom, it’s not about a single feature or product. It’s a relentless pursuit of excellence—delivering sustainable differentiation and value to customers, generation after generation.

As organizations move AI out of public cloud sandboxes and bring it on-prem for production, they face a two-fold financial shock: server and memory hardware costs are spiking, while GPUs sit 95% idle. In his upcoming #VMwareExplore keynote, Krish Prasad details how VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9.1 tackles these spiraling costs directly. Built-in features like NVMe Memory Tiering and vSAN global deduplication reclaim stranded memory and storage capacity to curb hardware spend on the infrastructure you choose. Beyond cost control, VCF 9.1 unifies VMs, containers, and AI workloads onto a single platform, eliminating operational fragmentation. Plus, embedded AIOps helps bridge the AI infrastructure skills gap currently facing 40% of enterprise IT leaders.

At Forum Europe's EU Sovereign Cloud Day, Advania Group acknowledged an uptick in 'sovereignty washing' and welcomed a clear EU-wide definition. We share this view. CADA has real potential to become the legislative anchor for Europe's cloud sovereignty agenda, but only if it rewards operational capability and independence over geography alone.
