Rising memory costs and unpredictable AI spending are changing how organizations plan their infrastructure. How can IT teams control costs while building for what comes next?
Live from VMware Explore 2026, Pete Flecha and Jad El-Zein welcome Scott Patti and David Tareen from Lenovo to discuss memory tiering, hybrid AI, and the infrastructure behind VMware Cloud Foundation.
The conversation explores how memory tiering helps address DRAM cost pressures, why tokenomics extends beyond the price of tokens, and how Lenovo Hybrid AI Factory complements VMware AI Factory with infrastructure sizing, stack certification, and deployment services.
They also discuss matching AI inference workloads to CPUs and GPUs, bringing enterprise and AI workloads into a familiar operating model, and Lenovo’s Top Choice Express program for getting infrastructure into customers’ hands faster.
