Foxconn has replaced VMware with Singapore-based hyperconverged infrastructure vendor Arcfra across its global factories, including for GPU virtualisation and AI workloads. The shift signals that large manufacturers are abandoning legacy enterprise virtualisation stacks for purpose-built AI infrastructure platforms.
