Arcfra Launches Joint VDI Solution with Omnissa, Slashing Costs by 61% Compared to VMware vSAN
SINGAPORE, June 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Arcfra today announced a joint VDI solution with Omnissa, offering 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.
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 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.
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.

The 61% storage cost savings is based on a storage software license cost comparison between Arcfra Enterprise Cloud Platform (AECP) VDI Essential Edition and VMware vSAN, calculated for a virtual desktop deployment of 500 concurrent users (CCU) targeting office workers VDI use cases. The comparison assumes 360TB of usable storage capacity and 560 CPU cores required for the deployment. Pricing and configurations are based on publicly available or estimated list prices as of Q2 2025. Actual results may vary depending on configuration, negotiated pricing, and infrastructure requirements.
