VMware Tanzu Unveils Data Intelligence and Platform 10.3 for Fast, Secure Agentic AI Innovation

VMware Tanzu Data Intelligence is a data lakehouse platform that provides unified, low-latency access to multimodal data at scale, driving faster, more secure analytics, applications, and agentic AI. It integrates ingestion, processing, querying, and AI/ML enablement into a single solution for complex and regulated organizations. Tanzu Platform 10.3 accelerates the safe development and integration of GenAI capabilities into existing enterprise applications.

Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ: AVGO) has announced significant updates to its VMware Tanzu portfolio, aimed at bolstering enterprise AI capabilities. The latest releases include VMware Tanzu Data Intelligence, a new data lakehouse platform, and VMware Tanzu Platform 10.3, an enhanced AI application development platform.

VMware Tanzu Data Intelligence is designed to address the challenges of data accessibility and governance in AI applications. It offers unified access to multimodal data with low latency, supporting AI/ML capabilities, native vector search, and real-time analytics. The platform features comprehensive data governance, lineage tracking, and scalability from terabytes to petabytes. This addresses a critical issue identified by Gartner, where 30% of GenAI projects fail after proof of concept due to data quality issues [1].

The new platform unifies access to both structured and unstructured data, which comprises up to 90% of enterprise data, and supports massive concurrency and millisecond latency. It also maintains data lineage, a crucial feature for regulated industries needing to document AI decision-making processes. The platform's ability to handle diverse data types and scale effortlessly positions it as a robust solution for modern AI applications [1].

VMware Tanzu Platform 10.3 introduces key enhancements, including service publishing in the marketplace, granular AI model service plans, automated application modernization, a new vulnerability dashboard, and integrated data services observability. These features aim to simplify AI application development and deployment, providing developers with a more secure and transparent environment [1].

Additionally, Broadcom has released an "AI Starter Kit" to help teams accelerate AI application delivery. The kit includes tooling and custom code for automated standup of Tanzu Platform services for AI, along with How-to-Guides for setting up foundations and deploying AI applications. This gradual on-ramp approach is designed to help enterprises transition to AI capabilities without requiring wholesale platform changes [1].

These updates position Broadcom's VMware business unit to capture more of the enterprise AI implementation market by focusing on practical challenges of AI adoption rather than just model capabilities. By addressing data readiness, governance, and application modernization simultaneously, Broadcom is creating a more comprehensive offering than point solutions in the market [1].
