Broadcom Extends VMware Private AI Cloud with Tanzu Platform AI-Ready Data Foundations and VMwareVCF AI Factory at VMware Explore 2026

Adam Reeves — Thu, 10 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT

On August 31, 2026, Broadcom expanded VMware Private AI Cloud with VMware AI Factory and new VMware Tanzu Platform AI-ready data foundations, agent governance enhancements, extending its private cloud platform-as-a-service (PaaS) stack to support agentic AI development and deployment. Broadcom also announced TrueSource by Broadcom, a new open source security portfolio. These updates mark continued progress toward Broadcom's VMware Private AI Cloud and reinforce a broader shift in developer enablement toward platform-mediated governance.

From Hype to Value and Production at Scale: How DXC Technology Operationalized Agentic AI Across 115,000 Employees with Amazon Quick and What It Means for Enterprise Buyers

Danielle Ibran — Thu, 10 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Market Perspective discusses how DXC Technology operationalized agentic AI across 115,000 employees with Amazon Quick and what it means for enterprise buyers. Success in agentic AI won't be won on model access; it'll be won on deployment discipline. The partners that pull ahead are building fluency before chasing productivity metrics, governing infrastructure before scaling it, and reframing client conversations from "faster" to "necessary at all." Methodology, measurement rigor, and governance architecture are becoming the real competitive moat, more defensible than any single technology partnership.

"The partners that win in agentic AI won't be the ones with the best model access; they'll be the ones with the governance discipline and judgment to eliminate a process instead of just automating it," says Danielle Ibran, senior research analyst, Worldwide Infrastructure Channels at IDC.

IDC Survey Spotlight: Do People Still Prompt AI Agents, or Does the Event Stream Trigger Them?

Carlos Gonzalez — Thu, 10 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Survey Spotlight examines how enterprises invoke AI agents, drawing on IDC’s Worldwide Event-Driven Automation and Analytics Survey, 2026. It finds that agent invocation has already moved away from the chat box, with almost 49% of organizations naming programmatic API calls as a primary entry point and 40% naming event-driven triggers compared with 44% for direct prompting via chat or voice.

The survey findings argue that this shift relocates the engineering burden from the model layer to the event layer. An event-fired agent requires broker subscriptions, schema contracts, delivery guarantees, and replay, which a prompted agent never needed. The data shows that the depth of an organization’s event streaming estate, rather than its choice of model, distinguishes production from pilot. Specifically, 49% of those running stream processing across all workflows have several agentic applications in production compared with only 10% of those using it in just a few workflows.

“Buyers are specifying event-reactive, human-supervised agents, with the majority saying agents require up-to-date, accurate data and must react instantly to changing conditions, rather than achieving full autonomy,” said Carlos M. González, research manager, Event-Driven Automation and Analytics at IDC. “That is a requirement list for event infrastructure and governance, not for autonomy.”

IDC Survey Spotlight: Which Customer Segments in Europe Are Adopting Neoclouds?

This IDC study outlines market segmentation and measurement methodologies for the Worldwide Semiannual Cloud Software Development and IT Operations Tracker, including software markets, company, geography, deployment type, and revenue metrics reported. It serves as the foundation for understanding the reported segments of the tracker and describes how these segments relate to IDC research in general.

"IDC's Worldwide Semiannual Cloud Software Development and IT Operations Tracker taxonomy represents a comprehensive outline of segments reported in the data product," said Matthew Flug, research manager, Intelligent Application Modernization and Deployment Platforms at IDC.

InfoComm 2026: Product Launches, Demos, and Market Direction

Gala Spasova, Evan Hardie — Thu, 10 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Market Perspective examines what InfoComm 2026 revealed about pro AV: Value is moving off the device and into the software, platforms, and AI agents around it.

It reviews the show's launches and demos as market direction and shows how technology suppliers should respond as AI, IP standards, and platforms take over from hardware. It also traces a security throughline beneath these shifts, from AI agent governance to IP network exposure and the standing remote access vendors now hold inside customers' networks.

"The hardware at InfoComm 2026 was excellent, but excellence in hardware is no longer where vendors make their margin," says Gala Spasova, Senior Research Manager at IDC. "Value has moved into the software, the platform, and the AI wrapped around the box, and this is where suppliers now have to compete."

"Agentic AI finally shipped on the show floor, but a certification logo is now the price of entry, not a reason to buy," says Evan Hardie, Research Director at IDC. "The suppliers who win from here will prove outcomes and sell the management layer, not another line on the spec sheet."

Market Share: Worldwide External Enterprise Storage Systems Shares, 2025

Carol Sliwa, Natalya Yezhkova — Thu, 10 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC presentation examines the 2025 market shares of the leading vendors in the external enterprise storage systems market.

"External OEM enterprise storage revenue grew 3.9% in 2025, as AI, analytics, and mission-critical databases drove spending on high-performance all-flash arrays. Data growth continued to fuel demand, but storage drive shortages and rising media prices started to have an impact on the market as the year progressed." — Carol Sliwa, research director, Storage and Data Management Enterprise Infrastructure, IDC

The Progression of Agentic AI in Asset Life-Cycle Management Applications

Brian O'Rourke — Thu, 10 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Market Perspective discusses that agentic AI is reshaping asset life-cycle management, but full autonomy will arrive gradually as data quality, ERP connectivity, and tightening regulation shape the pace. Pricing is shifting too, from seat-based subscriptions toward consumption- and outcome-based models.

"Agentic AI's promise in ALM is real, but so are the guardrails. Vendors that treat governance and audit readiness as core product features, not compliance overhead, will earn the trust needed to expand autonomy fastest," says Brian O'Rourke, research manager, Enterprise Asset Management and Smart Facilities at IDC.

Tricentis Leverages Tabnine Acquisition and Augments Agentic Testing Portfolio at User Conference

Melinda-Carol Ballou — Thu, 10 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT

As AI-driven development pushes code volume beyond what enterprises can validate, Tricentis expanded on its recent Tabnine acquisition at its August user conference, introducing three early-access (EA) technologies: Aida for autonomous application exploration, AgentScore for evaluating AI agent readiness, and Release Risk Intelligence focused on release-scoped risk prioritization. Tabnine is an AI-coding platform aimed at secure, context-aware software development; Tricentis positioned Tabnine's Enterprise Context Engine as a foundational layer for the EA products and its platform strategy. These announcements target IDC-identified constraints: agents lacking system-level context cannot reliably assess risk and quality, and enterprises have insufficient means to evaluate whether AI agents are production-ready. Tricentis' evolving Tabnine integration and Labs technologies exemplify emerging vendor support for agentic testing use and for testing agent quality. Technology leaders should evaluate products from Tricentis and others, separating intent from demonstrated execution to assess agentic quality benefits while leveraging effective governance and agentic orchestration.
