Private AI Protects Your Data, Idle Servers Drain Your Budget.
Private AI keeps your data under your control, but it’ is expensive to leave running.
Sending company data to public AI services puts it in someone else’s hands, and rules on where data must be kept make that harder to defend. Many businesses are building private AI on their own servers using VMware instead.
Those servers are costly, often run day and night whether they are used or not, and need protecting and recovering like any other important system.
Making Private AI Pay Its Way
Every hour private AI sits idle is money the business does not get back.
PwC’s 2026 Global CEO Survey found that 56% of CEOs have yet to see a significant financial benefit from AI.
Keeping AI private answers the data question. Tying its cost to real use answers the money question. Together they make private AI an investment a CFO can support.
Key regulations that may apply to your business
UK & EU GDPR transfers
Personal data sent outside the UK or EU needs proper safeguards. Public AI services hosted abroad can make that hard to show.
How Automation Runs Private AI On Demand
Automation switches your private AI on for each task and off again when it is done.
Ignite Technology’s preferred automation solution, Automic, runs tasks automatically. When a business task needs AI, Automic switches on the VMware computing power, runs the task and switches it off when it is done. Teams get what they need without raising a request.
The same software runs AI tasks across your own servers and public cloud, so hybrid cloud workloads follow the same rules. It also brings the most important services back first after a failure, gives people access only for as long as they need it and sets up new systems securely from the start.
1. Request
A business task needs AI.
2. Switch On & Run
Automic switches on the computing power required and the AI task runs on your own servers.
3. Switch Off
The computing power is switched off and the cost stops.
Private Agentic AI Expertise From Ignite
Ignite Technology connects private AI to the business across Broadcom’s VMware, Automic and Clarity products.
Few partners work across all three. Our consultants design how your private AI serves the business, set up Automic to switch it on and off, and connect usage to portfolio solutions so leaders can see cost and value by project.
Security, recovery and access are built in from the start, so private AI is ready for use across a large organisation.

Our Client Success in Automation
Automating Population-Scale Processing
Case Study > Automation > Government
A national pensions agency in Northern Europe processes monthly pension payments for an entire population of retirees, where a single error carries immediate political visibility. Ignite Technology has kept that processing reliable and auditable since 2020, reducing manual intervention and supporting the digital-government standards citizens now expect.
Giving a Global Asset Manager's Leadership Control Over Investment Operations
Case Study > Automation > Financial Services
A UK-headquartered global asset manager depends on overnight NAV calculation and trade settlement completing reliably, with faster cycles like T+1 raising the stakes. Ignite Technology’s Automic-based automation gives leadership centralised, auditable control over that processing, replacing fragmented, team-level scheduling with one system they can stand behind.
Underpinned by enterprise consultancy services
Ignite’s Broadcom Automic Workload Automation and Automation Intelligence consultants sit inside the same enterprise consultancy as Agentic AI and Change Consultancy and Portfolio Leadership and Strategic Management, so Automic governance decisions account for what else is happening across your technology estate.
Frequently Asked Questions
VMware Private AI is Broadcom’s way of running AI on your own servers, built on VMware Cloud Foundation, so your AI and your data stay under your control.
Your own servers keep private data inside your business, which helps with data protection rules and customer trust. They also give you more control over cost and speed.
Automic switches AI computing power on when a business task needs it and off when the task is complete, so you are not paying for servers that sit idle. The same approach cuts the cost of other workloads too, which is why workload automation is so often used for cost reduction.
Yes. Usage figures from your private AI can feed into Clarity, so leaders see cost and value by project.
Automic brings services back in order of business importance and checks each one, so the services that matter most come back first.
Yes. Running AI on your own servers keeps personal data inside your own environment, which makes GDPR transfer rules easier to meet and keeps data out of reach of foreign laws such as the US CLOUD Act.
Ignite Technology is a consultancy that works with large organisations and public sector bodies across the UK, Ireland, Northern Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Our Automic consultants hold Broadcom Knight certification, Broadcom’s highest award for partner experts, and Ignite was named the 2024 Arrow Accelerate Broadcom Infrastructure Management Software Partner of the Year.
