## AI overview

The article presents a unified, on-premises data architecture for sovereign agentic AI using VMware Tanzu, VMware Tanzu Greenplum, VMware Cloud Foundation, and VMware vSAN. It argues that placing AI compute close to enterprise data can improve performance and cost while reducing latency, data-transfer fees, and compliance risks.

## Source excerpt

By combining VMware Tanzu Greenplum with VMware vSAN, organizations can bring their AI compute directly to their data storage layer for improved cost and latency.
