Arcfra Launches Joint VDI Solution with Omnissa, Slashing Costs by 61% Compared to VMware vSAN
SINGAPORE, June 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Arcfra today announced a joint VDI solution with Omnissa, offering a cost-effective, high-performance alternative to traditional VDI deployments. The integrated solution enables enterprise customers to deploy Omnissa Horizon on Arcfra Enterprise Cloud Platform (AECP), reduces storage cost by up to 61% compared to VMware vSAN, while delivering enterprise-grade performance and streamlined management. As a member of the Omnissa Technology Partner Program, Arcfra has completed certification for Horizon Partner Application/Middleware Program and earned the Omnissa Partner Ready – Horizon badge for its flagship platform AECP. What's New In 2025, Arcfra joined the Omnissa Technology Partner Program to strengthen its commitment to delivering future-ready VDI solutions. Following swift certification, its flagship platform AECP enables customers to deploy Omnissa Horizon seamlessly on Arcfra's VDI-optimized infrastructure with full integration and enterprise-level support. The solution is delivered via AECP VDI Essential Edition, which includes all required infrastructure software with no additional charge for storage capacity. Why It Matters Traditional VDI architectures often struggle with centralized storage limitations, leading to performance bottlenecks and slower desktop response times as workloads scale. With Arcfra's distributed, high-performance infrastructure and seamless integration with Omnissa Horizon, organizations benefit from: Substantial Cost Savings: Reduce VDI storage costs by 61% compared to VMware vSAN, without compromising performance. High Performance Without Boot Storms: Distributed storage and converged architecture eliminate boot storm issues, ensuring consistent, reliable desktop experiences. Fast Time-to-Value: Simplified deployment architecture allows businesses to get up and running quickly with reduced implementation time. Streamlined Operations: A unified management console, combined with standard x86 servers and Ethernet switches, reduces operational complexity and overhead. Scalable and Flexible Growth: The distributed architecture supports incremental scaling at the component or node level—pay only as you grow. To explore the joint solution in more detail, download the full solution brief here. The 61% storage cost savings is based on a storage software license cost comparison between Arcfra Enterprise Cloud Platform (AECP) VDI Essential Edition and VMware vSAN, calculated for a virtual desktop deployment of 500 concurrent users (CCU) targeting office workers VDI use cases. The comparison assumes 360TB of usable storage capacity and 560 CPU cores required for the deployment. Pricing and configurations are based on publicly available or estimated list prices as of Q2 2025. Actual results may vary depending on configuration, negotiated pricing, and infrastructure requirements. View original content: SOURCE Arcfra

Arcfra Releases AECP v6.2: Secure and Compliant Enterprise Cloud for the AI Era
SINGAPORE, March 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Arcfra is thrilled to introduce Arcfra Enterprise Cloud Platform (AECP) v6.2, a release to provide unparalleled security and compliance for modern enterprises, especially in the rapidly evolving AI landscape. AECP v6.2 equips organizations with advanced encryption, enhanced access controls, and flexible management tools, ensuring that their on-premises enterprise cloud is both impenetrable and audit-ready. Fortified Data Security AECP v6.2 introduces volume-level data encryption powered by the AES-256 algorithm, seamlessly integrated with third-party Key Management Systems (KMS). For industries like finance and government, this ensures that sensitive data meets security standards and complies with global regulations. Optimized Kubernetes Security With Arcfra Network Service, AECP v6.2 takes workload security to the next level. The distributed firewall now supports unified security policies for Arcfra Kubernetes Engine (AKE) Pods and VMs, enabling universal management of Pod-to-VM, Pod-to-Pod, Pod-to-IP, and VM-to-VM communications. This ensures that hybrid environment deployments stay flexible, secure, and fully compliant with audit requirements. Secure Authentication, Globally Tailored The Arcfra Operation Center (AOC) enhances access security with: Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) via SMS, configurable with various global providers to meet regional compliance needs. Single Sign-On (SSO) based on the SAML protocol, featuring THALES STA support by default (other vendors available on request), aligning with enterprise security standards. Enhanced Tenant Security with Advanced VPC Capabilities AECP v6.2 enhances tenant security with robust Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) features via Arcfra Network Service, optimizing both access efficiency and protection. VPC peering facilitates direct, secure communication between two VPCs, enabling seamless tenant interactions while maintaining strict control over data flows. The ability to create multiple edge gateways—whether within a single cluster or across several—ensures better load balancing and heightened resilience by distributing VPC traffic across all gateway instances. Moreover, the North-South Access Control List (ACL) offers precise control over external traffic, safeguarding both inbound and outbound connections. Strengthened Performance and Availability Beyond security, the Arcfra Cloud Operating System (ACOS) optimizes virtualization to support compliance without compromise: Smarter CPU allocation and NUMA node alignment reduce memory access latency, boosting performance for critical apps like databases. Reduced snapshot storage needs will allow more recovery points, meeting backup compliance demands.
