New AI-powered Features Deliver Actionable Insights and Enhanced Collaboration

PALO ALTO, Calif., June 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) today announced the general availability of the newest investment made to VMware Tanzu CloudHealth, a comprehensive new user experience that delivers a suite of feature enhancements and new AI-powered features like Intelligent Assist and Smart Summary. The new CloudHealth experience brings more accurate data and actionable insights to the entire FinOps Team, making it easier to achieve critical FinOps-driven outcomes and better align investments with business goals. Designed to reduce barriers to entry by making FinOps tools and capabilities available to personas of all backgrounds, it allows all stakeholders in the FinOps practice to better understand their impact and input on the organization’s cloud usage and drive a culture of accountability and collaboration.

New AI-Powered Features Deliver a FinOps Solution for the Entire Team

Today’s FinOps teams are expected to manage much more than spending in the growing public cloud market, as well as managing resources outside of the public cloud. According to the State of FinOps 2025 report from the FinOps Foundation, respondents stated that they expect their FinOps teams will need to manage more aspects of the cloud spend than what is expected today (source: State of FinOps by FinOps Foundation). This increased demand on the FinOps team requires tools and resources that enable them to do more, quicker. The new CloudHealth experience helps to meet these demands head-on by providing FinOps teams with a tool for the entire team.

One of the most significant additions to the new CloudHealth experience is Intelligent Assist, a generative AI FinOps co-pilot embedded in the platform that helps users take more advantage of CloudHealth capabilities. Intelligent Assist is a large language model-enabled chatbot that allows users to gain insights about their clouds and services through natural language, such as granular custom reports or recommendations specific to their cloud usage. It makes tasks simpler for experienced users while helping to break down barriers to entry for business-oriented personas who are interested in exploring their cloud cost and usage. By enabling technical and non-technical users alike, Intelligent Assist is a crucial feature in enhancing collaboration across the FinOps team and organization, making data accessible to all decision-makers and enabling everyone to use the same data in their day-to-day operations.

Another key addition to the new CloudHealth experience is Smart Summary, a new industry-leading approach to understanding cloud cost changes. Using Smart Summary, users can more quickly answer the key questions - what costs changed, why did they change and what action can I take to contain unintentional overrun.

With the AI-powered capabilities of Intelligent Assist and Smart Summary, CloudHealth has demonstrated continued innovation in the cloud financial management space and reaffirms its commitment to enabling every organization to stay in control of their technology spending.

New Experience. New Chapter. Still Breaking FinOps Barriers

In 2024 alone, CloudHealth was named an industry leader by seven independent analyst firms confirming its dedication to providing customers with the best insights for business decision-making and cloud spend management. Building upon this rich, storied history, the new CloudHealth experience signals a new chapter of innovation.

“We are proud to officially introduce the general availability of the new CloudHealth experience at the FinOps X conference. Innovative, new AI-powered features like Intelligent Assist and Smart Summary provide users a greater ability to make sense of cloud data and reporting necessary to collaborate among teams to control cloud spend,” said Purnima Padmanabhan, general manager, Tanzu Division, Broadcom. “This product investment not only signifies our commitment to innovation, but also to Arrow Electronics, our strategic go-to-market partner focused on bringing CloudHealth to new markets and helping to further grow this business.”
