Just under a year ago, Singapore-based startup Arcfra entered the hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) market and recognized in a Gartner’s Market Guide for Full-Stack HCI Software less than a year after launch. It’s said it’s AECP v6.3 hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) product has tier-1 all-flash performance.
AECP is built on Arcfra Cloud Operating System (ACOS) with modular components such as the Arcfra Virtualization Engine (AVE), Arcfra Network Storage (ABS), and Arcfra Kubernetes Engine. V6.3 AECP delivers 11M+ IOPS, 130+ GiB/s, and <100 μs latency on a 3-node cluster.
This is powerful software. Where did it come from? We looked at Arcfra’s history and found out it was started up in May, 2024. It puzzled us as to how, in just 23 months, Arcfra could produce such a broad and performant HCI software portfolio.
A few days later Arcfra announced that, in its first 2026 quarter, it launched Neutree, an open-source, AI Model-as-a-Service (MaaS)-ready platform. This “brings together model management, inference services, and operational workflows to make enterprise AI more deployable, manageable, and scalable in real-world environments.”
The Arcfra website lists even more products: Arcfra Block Storage, Arcfra File Storage, Arcfra Backup and Recovery. Just how has it managed to produce all this software in less than 2 years?
