When considering VMware replacements, many users will evaluate alternatives to VMware vCenter for centralized virtual machine (VM) management. Arcfra Enterprise Cloud Platform (AECP), as one of the sample full-stack HCI solutions recognized in Gartner’s A Guide to Choosing a VMware Alternative in the Wake of Broadcom Acquisition, provides Arcfra Operation Center (AOC) for centralized VM and cluster management.
In particular, AOC not only offers comprehensive cluster management, monitoring, O&M, and upgrade features equivalent to VMware vCenter, but also enhances the user experience with an easy-to-use GUI and optimized features such as observability, allowing the user to oversee and manage all IT resources in one place.
AOC vs vCenter: Key Feature Comparisons
Advantages of AOC as VMware vCenter Alternative
One Platform for Cluster Operations, Management, and Monitoring
AOC offers comprehensive features for cluster management, monitoring, operations, and upgrades. It also integrates network traffic visualization, hybrid workload management, VPC, one-click isolation of anomaly VMs, and seamless network switching to enable “global management through a single interface.”
A Simpler Operations and Management Experience
Through various technical optimizations, AOC provides enhanced features such as resource optimization, cloning diagrams. These advantages deliver a simpler and more user-friendly O&M experience compared to vCenter.
Optimized Features: One-Click Upgrade
Upgrade Center: Enhancing O&M Efficiency with Automation
The Upgrade Center provides lifecycle management for various AECP clusters and system services through automated processes. Once an upgrade task is submitted, the entire upgrade can proceed without any manual intervention, while ensuring the cluster’s operations remain uninterrupted. This helps customers, especially frontline teams, complete cluster O&M more quickly, easily, and efficiently.
