Arcfra AECP 6.3 Breaks Performance Barriers with 11 Million IOPS, Delivering Premium-Class "All-Flash" Performance and RPO=0 Resilience
Singapore, (ANTARA/PRNewswire) - Arcfra, a pioneer in high-performance cloud computing infrastructure and artificial intelligence, today launched the Arcfra Enterprise Cloud Platform (AECP) 6.3. Supported by the latest Arcfra Cloud Operating System (ACOS 6.3), the newest version of AECP delivers performance improvements of up to 4.6 times, along with synchronous replication featuring RPO=0 as a standard feature, making it a high-performance and cost-effective alternative to conventional VMware-based architectures.
After many companies faced surges in licence costs and the need to process large volumes of AI data, AECP 6.3 requires no specially designed (proprietary) and expensive storage systems thanks to in-depth architectural optimisation.
“By 2026, virtualisation standards will have shifted from merely ‘runnable’ to ‘efficiently and sustainably runnable’,” said Robert Li, Director of Alliance and Product Marketing at Arcfra. “AECP 6.3 propels hyperconverged infrastructure into the era of AI-native acceleration, while addressing the complexities most feared by companies during migrations from legacy systems.”
Breaking Performance Barriers
AECP 6.3 delivers speeds that “break through hardware capability limits” via software-based optimisation, rivaling the performance of premium-class All-Flash Arrays. Based on testing on a standard three-node cluster, the platform recorded maximum improvements compared to the previous version:
Over 11 million IOPS on Random Read 4K (a 4.6X increase).
Over 130 GiB/s on Sequential Read (a 3.6X increase).
Latency reduced to below 100 μs on Random Read 4K.
These achievements are supported by integration of Intel® Data Streaming Accelerator (DSA), a more modern IO_uring framework, and the use of 8-stripe virtual volumes that maximise storage parallelism without manual configuration.
Risk-Free Operational Continuity for Critical Systems
To protect critical workloads, AECP 6.3 introduces real-time synchronous replication at the VM level without a Recovery Point Objective (RPO). This ensures data integrity, particularly for financial transactions and AI/VDI applications. Additionally, Arcfra has reduced the minimum requirement for active-active clusters from six nodes to four, making it easier for mid-sized companies to achieve high availability.
Native Security Architecture
AECP 6.3 introduces the “Security by Design” concept with encrypted live migration and encryption at rest via a built-in Key Management Service (KMS). This simplifies regulatory compliance without adding operational burdens.
Easy to Operate at Scale
AECP 6.3 is easy to operate at scale by automating routine tasks and reducing hidden costs. Available features include batch updating of VMTools, maintaining virtual PCI NIC addresses during migration to ensure smooth transitions, and optimisation of hot migration that only transfers valid data to minimise service disruptions.
