A New Year Message from Arcfra CEO

2026: Navigating the Infrastructure Reset Together

January 6th, 2026

Dear Partners, Customers, and Friends,

Happy New Year!

As we return to our desks for the first week of 2026, the sense of transformation in our industry is no longer just a prediction — it is our reality. Throughout 2025, we spoke about “The Enterprise Infra Reset.” We watched as organizations addressed the challenge of infrastructure modernization, the urgent demands of Private AI, and the Broadcom-VMware shift to reclaim control over their infrastructure and their data.

Today, that reset is in full swing. At Arcfra, we are proud to be leading the charge alongside you, turning industry disruption into an opportunity for strategic independence.

2025: A Year of Proven Impact and Global Growth

We enter 2026 with incredible momentum, built on the milestones we achieved together over the past twelve months. As legacy infrastructure became increasingly complex and costly, Arcfra emerged as a beacon of stability and modernization.

• Infrastructure Modernization & VMware Replacement: We empowered global leaders — including Foxconn, Cafe24, and ConnectWave — to break free from the constraints of legacy infrastructure. Our recognition by Gartner as Representative Vendor in Full-Stack HCI and a Sample Vendor for VMware Alternatives has validated what our customers already know: that there is a more efficient, cost-effective way to build an enterprise cloud infrastructure.
• Bridging the AI Gap: We addressed the “dual mandate” facing every IT leader — the need to balance traditional CPU workloads alongside the explosive demand for GPU-accelerated AI. Through our unified infrastructure and platform, we’ve made it possible to support both and manage under a single pane of glass, turning architectural complexity into operational simplicity.
• A Growing Global Ecosystem: From our headquarters in Singapore to our deepening roots in South Korea, Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia, Arcfra is dedicated to becoming a global community. By strengthening our ties with partners like Omnissa, Veeam, and Lenovo, we are building a collaborative ecosystem that makes modernization accessible to everyone.

Our 2026 Resolution: Solving the Complexity Crisis

As we look toward 2026, the industry challenges are clear. We are seeing the rise of the “Broadcom-VMware Tax” and “AI Tax” — the hidden costs of infrastructure fragmentation, data silos, and skyrocketing licensing fees that are stifling innovation.

Our commitment to you for 2026 is simple: Your Cloud & AI Infrastructure, Made Easy. We are here to help you regain sovereignty over your data and your budget, without the weight og legacy complexity.

• Effortless AI Sovereignty: We are making “Private AI” a turnkey reality. In an era where data privacy is paramount, we ensure your AI workloads are secure, compliant, and easy to deploy on-premises — keeping your intellectual property exactly where it belongs.
• Seamless Infrastructure Evolution: Whether you are migrating from VMware, converging Kubernetes, or scaling for AI, we provide a unified path. No matter your starting point, we are here to help you modernize your infrastructure step by step, removing the “all-or-nothing” risk of legacy upgrades.
• Economic Freedom: We remain dedicated to driving down TCO. Whether you are moving away from legacy lock-in or scaling VDI with our Omnissa joint solution, we are committed to providing the industry’s best price-to-performance ratio.
• Local Depth, Global Reach: We are deepening our commitment to our regional hubs. From our core in APAC to our expansion into EMEA and AMER, we are placing more expertise and resources on the ground to support your specific local requirements.

A Shared Journey

To our Partners: Thank you for your tireless work in 2025. This year, we are doubling down on our commitment to you, providing the advanced tools and training needed to lead your customers through their most critical modernization journeys.

To our Customers: We are honored to be the foundation upon which you build your future. Your trust is the fuel that drives our team to transform the complex into the simple, every single day.

To our Friends: To the industry peers and advocates who have shared our vision and challenged us to be better — thank you for your support and for being an essential part of the Arcfra story.

2026 will be the year that “intelligent infrastructure” starts being the standard. Let’s build it together.

Wishing you a bold, innovative, and successful year ahead.
