Singapore, June 20, 2025 — Arcfra, an innovator in full-stack enterprise cloud infrastructure, today announced a joint Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) solution with Omnissa, offering organizations a cost-effective, high-performance alternative to traditional VDI deployments. The integrated solution enables enterprise customers to deploy Omnissa Horizon on Arcfra Enterprise Cloud Platform (AECP), reduces storage cost by up to 61% compared to VMware vSAN, while delivering enterprise-grade performance and streamlined management.

As a member of the Omnissa Technology Partner Program, Arcfra has completed certification for Horizon Partner Application/Middleware Program and earned the Omnissa Partner Ready — Horizon badge for its flagship platform AECP, affirming Arcfra’s validated compatibility with Horizon.

What’s New

In 2025, Arcfra joined the Omnissa Technology Partner Program to strengthen its commitment to delivering future-ready VDI solutions. Following swift certification, its flagship platform AECP now enables customers to deploy Omnissa Horizon seamlessly on Arcfra’s VDI-optimized infrastructure with full integration and enterprise-level support.

The solution is delivered via AECP VDI Essential Edition, which includes all required infrastructure software with no additional charge for storage capacity. This breakthrough in pricing and packaging enables organizations to deploy and scale VDI environments with predictable costs and significant TCO reduction.

Why It Matters

Traditional VDI architectures often struggle with centralized storage limitations, leading to performance bottlenecks and slower desktop response times as workloads scale.

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.

Use Cases and Applicability

This solution is ideal for VDI customers seeking:

  • A scalable and high-performance desktop virtualization platform.
  • Reduced infrastructure and storage costs for Horizon deployments.
  • Greater agility in rolling out remote work, training, or testing environments.
  • An integrated solution that simplifies lifecycle management of virtual desktops.

Whether you’re modernizing legacy VDI infrastructure or rolling out Horizon for the first time, the Arcfra Omnissa joint solution provides the performance, flexibility, and cost structure to support your strategy — today and into the future.
