On September 3, 2026, Broadcom updated VMware Cloud Foundation to 9.1.1 with multi-tenant model sharing in general availability, a gateway to more than 150 models, and a 2.6x jump in Kubernetes scale. For inference on regulated data, compare the total cost of a consolidated on-premises GPU estate against a hyperscaler’s per-token price before you commit.
Broadcom patched two flaws in VMware Workstation and Fusion: CVE-2026-59346 (CVSS 9.3) and CVE-2026-59347 both let a virtual machine administrator execute code on the host machine. Update to 26H1u1 now — no workaround exists.
Wi-Fi 8 (IEEE 802.11bn) is the first wireless generation that no longer tries to break a throughput record: with the same theoretical top speed as Wi-Fi 7, it targets bounded latency and “ultra-high reliability” in dense environments. The first Qualcomm and Broadcom products land in late 2026, but most users can ignore them until 2028.
On August 20, 2026, Microsoft announced the retirement of the license-included Azure VMware Solution: sales stop after October 31, 2026, and a mandatory move to a VCF BYOL model before August 30, 2027. For customers, this is the last exit without going through Broadcom’s VMware Cloud Foundation bundle.
