Flexible and Cost-Saving DR Solution for the Post-VMware Era

SINGAPORE, May 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Arcfra, the Singapore-based innovator in cloud and AI infrastructure, and RackWare, the California-based pioneer in multi-cloud mobility and resilience, announced a strategic partnership to address the "DR Crisis" facing enterprises today. The collaboration integrates RackWare Management Module (RMM) with the Arcfra Enterprise Cloud Platform (AECP), providing a seamless, "Broadcom-tax-free" path for data center disaster recovery.

The Solution: Closing the "Post-VMware" Resilience Gap

Following Broadcom's acquisition of VMware, 98% of customers are reconsidering their platform strategy due to reported licensing increases of up to 300%. A critical challenge is that tools like VMware Site Recovery Manager, Live Recovery, and Zerto are locked to vSphere; migrating even a single VM breaks replication, leaving the business unprotected during the highest-risk window of transition.

The Arcfra and RackWare joint solution eliminates this "dark window" by providing agentless, any-to-any replication that remains active throughout the entire migration journey.

Strategic Use Cases & Solution Benefits

The Arcfra and RackWare partnership addresses the "DR Crisis" facing enterprises today by delivering high-performance resilience across three key scenarios:

Zero-Gap Migration (VMware → Arcfra): Unlike legacy tools like SRM or Zerto that are "locked" to vSphere, RackWare RMM provides agentless, any-to-any replication that stays active during the transition. This eliminates the "dark window" where businesses are unprotected during a platform move.
Modernized On-Premises DR: Enterprises can now establish a "VMware-free" recovery site on Arcfra AECP for any existing infrastructure, maintaining predictable, active-passive protection without the cost of VCF bundles.
Cost-Optimized Cloud DR: Customers can use AWS, Azure, or OCI as a standby site. Dynamic provisioning ensures cloud resources are only spun up during a failover, eliminating the need to pay for 24/7 idle compute capacity.

Key Customer Benefits:

Sub-30 Minute RTO: Automated orchestration handles complex sequencing and network re-configuration for rapid recovery.
No "Performance Cliff": Arcfra's NVMe-optimized storage ensures applications run at full production speed immediately upon failover.
Up to 60% TCO Reduction: Eliminate forced VCF bundle costs and utilize pay-as-you-use cloud DR capacity.
True Infrastructure Sovereignty: Removes Broadcom from the critical path, ensuring IT resilience is never held hostage by a single vendor's pricing power.
