AECP Compute
Start with compute. Keep your storage.
Overview
AECP Compute is a compute-first virtualization package for enterprises that want to replace VMware vSphere while preserving existing external storage investments. It is designed for non-HCI deployments where the immediate priority is to modernize the virtualization and compute layer without redesigning the storage architecture on day one.
Best for
Enterprises with existing FC/iSCSI or external storage environments that want a lower-risk path from VMware to Arcfra.
Included highlights
- Arcfra Virtualization Engine
- External storage integration
- Management and analytics
