Overview

VMware ESXi is the easiest way to get started with virtualization—and it’s free. Consolidate your applications onto fewer servers and start saving money through reduced hardware, power, cooling and administration costs. VMware ESXi has been optimized and tested to run even your most resource intensive applications and databases with minimal performance overhead.

Deploy a mature hypervisor technology that runs in tens of thousands of customer environments. Most hypervisors in the market today rely on a built-in operating system to perform core virtualization tasks such as allocating hardware resources to the various virtual machines that run on top. This means that your virtual machines are only as reliable as the built-in operating system. VMware ESXi has an ultra thin design with no reliance on a general purpose operating system. This architecture allows you to avoid the security hardening, user access control, anti-virus tasks and patching associated with a typical operating system. Its ultra thin code base installs directly on the server hardware for the ultimate reliability.

Key Features

  • Record-setting performance with up to 8,900 database transactions per second, 200,000 I/O operations per second, and up to 16,000 Exchange mailboxes on a single physical host
  • Up to eight-way virtual SMP (symmetric multiprocessing), enabling the virtualization of multiprocessor workloads* (8-way vSMP requires vSphere Enterprise Plus licensing)
  • Broadest OS support of any hypervisor, enabling IT to virtualize numerous versions of Windows®, Linux®, Solaris®, NetWare®, and other operating systems
  • Built-in high availability through NIC teaming and HBA multipathing to protect against hardware component failures
  • Up to 64 logical processing cores, 256 virtual CPUs, and 1TB RAM per host, enabling higher consolidation ratios
