Arcfra announced a collaborative Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) solution with Omnissa, designed to provide a cost-effective alternative to traditional VDI deployments. This integration allows enterprise clients to implement Omnissa Horizon on the Arcfra Enterprise Cloud Platform (AECP) and reduce storage costs by up to 61% compared to VMware vSAN.

As part of the Omnissa Technology Partner Program, Arcfra achieved certification for the Horizon Partner Application/Middleware Program and received the Omnissa Partner Ready – Horizon badge for its AECP platform.

In 2025, Arcfra joined the Omnissa Technology Partner Program to enhance its VDI offerings. The AECP allows customers to deploy Omnissa Horizon on optimized infrastructure, ensuring seamless integration and comprehensive support.

The integrated solution is provided via AECP VDI Essential Edition, which includes essential infrastructure software without additional storage charges.

Traditional VDI architectures often face challenges with centralized storage, leading to performance issues as workloads increase. Arcfra’s distributed infrastructure aims to mitigate these problems.

With the new solution, organizations can benefit from:

- Cost Savings: Storage costs can be reduced by 61% compared to VMware vSAN without sacrificing performance.

- Performance Improvement: The distributed storage architecture prevents boot storm issues, ensuring reliable desktop experiences.

- Quick Deployment: A simplified architecture allows for faster implementation.

- Streamlined Management: Unified management reduced operational complexity using standard x86 servers and Ethernet switches.

- Scalability: The architecture permits growing incrementally at either the component or node level.

A cost comparison for the VDI deployment was based on a hypothetical setup for 500 concurrent users, estimating storage requirements and costs applicable as of Q2 2025. Actual configurations and prices may vary.
