Foxconn, the Taiwanese manufacturing giant, has made a significant move by adopting Arcrfra, a hyperconverged infrastructure vendor based in Singapore, to replace VMware for GPU virtualization workloads across its operations.
Transition to Arcrfra
Foxconn’s decision comes as part of its strategy to modernize its distributed factory infrastructure. The company aims to enhance the management and delivery of AI models across various environments. Arcrfra’s platform, particularly its Neutree model-as-a-service, has been integrated to facilitate this transition.
Operational Improvements
According to Arcrfra, the implementation of Neutree allows Foxconn to accelerate model deployment, improve operational visibility, and establish a scalable foundation for future AI and intelligent manufacturing workloads. This change is expected to address the challenges posed by Foxconn’s previous reliance on traditional VMware virtualization, which had become increasingly difficult to manage and scale.
Global Deployment
Foxconn has deployed Arcrfra’s solutions across its branch factories located in Mainland China, Taiwan, Vietnam, and North America. The platform supports critical systems, including intranet, manufacturing management, ERP, and production line management. This shift is seen as a move towards a more modern and efficient infrastructure, replacing the legacy VMware virtualization and SAN storage architecture.
Market Context
Arcrfra, which launched in 2024, gained recognition in 2025 when it was included in Gartner’s Market Guide for Full-Stack HCI Software. The company recently updated its Neutree platform to include native GPU virtualization and model governance capabilities, aligning with Foxconn’s needs for advanced AI functionalities.
While Foxconn’s shift to Arcrfra marks a notable change in its IT strategy, the company has not provided further details regarding the decision. Meanwhile, VMware’s parent company, Broadcom, has been targeting large enterprises but has seen several major brands, including Foxconn, move away from its services.
