Get Production-Ready Virtualization with OS-Independence
Deliver unmatched levels of reliability and security with VMware ESXi, the industry’s thinnest hypervisor. VMware ESXi is built on the same technology as VMware ESX, so it’s powerful enough to run even the most resource intensive applications, but it’s only 32 MB in size and runs independent of a general purpose operating system.
VMware ESXi’s intuitive startup menu allows you to start creating virtual machines and saving money in minutes. With VMware ESXi, you can:
- Run multiple operating systems on a single server
- Save on hardware, power and cooling costs
- Run the most resource intensive applications in production
- Use the integrated remote command line interface (CLI) for configuration, maintenance, patches and updates
And when you’re ready to continue building your virtual infrastructure, you can seamlessly upgrade to VMware Infrastructure.
Create Virtual Machines Quickly and Easily
VMware ESXi is the easiest way to get started with virtualization. Step through the menu-driven startup and automatic configuration and you’ll have virtual machines set up and running within minutes of booting your server. You can also deploy servers that have VMware ESXi pre-installed to experience true “plug and play” virtualization.
Leverage VMware ESXi’s Reliable High Performance
As the only hypervisor that does not incorporate or rely on a general-purpose operating system (OS), VMware ESXi eliminates many common reliability issues and security vulnerabilities associated with the OS. Its slim 32MB footprint is a fraction of the size of a general-purpose operating system, minimizing the effort required for security hardening, user access control, anti-virus and backup.
Run Production Workloads with a Bare-Metal Hypervisor
VMware ESXi’s bare-metal architecture and advanced memory and network features allow you to run even the most resource-intensive workloads such as email, databases, and ERP applications. Run more virtual machines on each server simultaneously for higher consolidation ratios and increased cost savings when you take advantage of VMware ESXi’s advanced memory management.
Support various 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows, Linux, Solaris and Netware., in addition to 64-bit hardware. VMware ESXi has the broadest OS support of any hypervisor.
