Why CPUs Are the Secret to Scalable, Secure, and Cost-Effective Enterprise AI

As organizations move from AI experimentation to enterprise-wide adoption, they face increasing pressure to deliver scalable performance, protect sensitive data, and control infrastructure costs. While accelerators play an important role, CPUs remain the foundation of AI deployments, powering data preparation, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), AI inference, orchestration, and security-sensitive workloads. Intel® Xeon® AI-Ready platform provides the performance, memory capacity, and built-in acceleration needed to support AI across data center, cloud, and edge environments.

Join this webinar to learn how organizations can build a practical enterprise AI platform using Intel® Xeon® processors, VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), and Canonical Ubuntu. Discover how VCF provides a consistent, scalable private cloud foundation for modern AI workloads, while Ubuntu delivers an open and optimized operating environment for AI frameworks, containers, and developer tools. Together, these technologies enable enterprises to deploy AI closer to their data, simplify operations, enhance security, and maximize utilization of existing infrastructure investments.
