VMware is set to buy the artificial intelligence-focused infrastructure software provider in a deal of undisclosed size that will see Samsung exit.
Software virtualisation company VMware yesterday agreed to acquire Bitfusion, a US-based artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure platform operator backed by electronics producer Samsung, for an undisclosed amount.
Founded in 2015, Bitfusion has developed software that helps companies more efficiently use AI technologies by virtualising computer hardware, such graphics processor units, field-programmable gate arrays and application-specific integrated circuits.
VMware will integrate Bitfusion’s technology into its own offering, strengthening the corporate’s ability to support AI and machine learning-based workloads.
