  Run Modern, AI, and Traditional Apps Better with vSphere in VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0

Building private cloud infrastructure is a key priority, but complexity in evolving IT environments often slows progress. Organizations must support legacy applications while adopting modern, containerized workloads, leading to fragmented systems and inefficiencies. At the same time, rising threats, evolving regulations, and the need for consistent compliance across environments put added pressure on IT teams. Limited budgets and a shortage of skilled personnel require smarter use of existing resources, automation, and a focus on reducing total cost of ownership. To overcome these challenges, IT leaders must align infrastructure strategies with business goals through simplification, integration and better security.

vSphere, the industry leading virtualization platform, was created to tackle these challenges head-on, purpose-built to meet the demands of today’s dynamic application landscape. As the enterprise workload engine powering VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) and VMware vSphere Foundation (VVF), vSphere enables organizations to run both modern, cloud-native apps and traditional, business-critical workloads with consistent performance, availability, and control. New advancements in infrastructure services—such as minimal Day 0 Supervisor configuration, independently upgradable Supervisor, and enhanced VM Service capabilities—make it easier than ever for IT teams to support developers and scale containerized applications alongside virtual machines. For modern workloads like AI/ML, vSphere introduces performance-focused innovations, including  Zero Downtime for vGPU vMotion, NVMe Memory Tiering, and Monster VM scale, helping ensure that demanding applications run efficiently and reliably. At the same time, vSphere strengthens security and compliance with features like Live Patching, TLS 1.3, FIPS 140-2 compliance, and Confidential Computing, delivering proactive protection and aligning with industry standards right out of the box. Today, we are excited to announce the latest updates to vSphere with VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 and VMware vSphere Foundation 9.0.
