Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) has become a cornerstone of enterprise IT, enabling secure, flexible, and centrally managed desktops for employees across diverse environments. But delivering VDI at scale — while maintaining performance, reliability, and cost efficiency — requires a carefully designed foundation.
That’s where the joint solution of Omnissa Horizon and Arcfra Enterprise Cloud Platform (AECP) comes in. By pairing a market-leading VDI solution with a Gartner-recognized full-stack HCI platform, enterprises can build a next-generation VDI environment with higher performance and up to 61% cost savings compared with vSAN.
To help IT teams succeed in this journey, we’ve released a detailed technical guide — Best Practice for Deploying Omnissa Horizon on Arcfra Enterprise Cloud Platform.
What’s Inside the Guide
VDI success hinges on more than just software selection — it depends on how well the infrastructure is designed and tuned.
To guide IT engineers and operations teams in optimizing the performance and availability of running Omnissa Horizon on Arcfra AECP clusters, the best practice provides detailed explanations of deployment architecture, considerations for hardware and software components, and an example configuration under a 200-desktop-user scenario.
Key highlights include:
- Deployment Architecture: A layered design covering compute, storage, networking, and management for running Omnissa Horizon on AECP.
- Hardware & Resource Sizing: Sizing CPU, memory, storage, and NIC according to business requirements.
- Configuring Omnissa Horizon Server & Client: Planning resource allocation and operating system, and increasing system availability with VM HA and load balancing features.
- Configuring Desktop Image: Best practice for cloning strategies (Instant Clone vs. Full Clone).
- Configuring Arcfra Cluster SCVM: Optimizing performance and stability with RDMA, cache pinning, and rack awareness features.
- Example Deployment: A complete scenario for a 200-user office worker environment, with practical suggestions of hardware and software configurations.
