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.
