product introduction

VMware ESXi: A purpose-built bare-metal hypervisor

Learn about reliable bare-metal hypervisors that install directly into your physical servers . By directly accessing and controlling underlying resources, VMware ESXi efficiently partitions hardware to consolidate applications and reduce costs. It is an industry-leading high-efficiency architecture (sysin) that sets the industry standard for reliability, performance, and support.

Advantages of ESXi

IT teams are under constant pressure to adapt to fluctuating market trends and meet higher customer demands. At the same time, they must stretch IT resources to accommodate increasingly complex projects. Fortunately, ESXi, formerly known as ESX, can help balance the need for improved business outcomes and IT cost savings. VMware ESXi enables you to:

Consolidate hardware for higher capacity utilization.
Boost performance for a competitive edge.
Streamline IT management with centralized management capabilities.
Reduce CAPEX and OPEX.
Minimizing the hardware resources required to run the hypervisor means greater efficiency.

Features

ESXi consolidates multiple servers into fewer physical devices, reducing space, power, and IT management requirements while increasing performance.

Small Footprint
While ESXi's footprint is only a few hundred MB, it enables more functionality (sysin) while minimizing hypervisor security risks.

Reliable performance
for any size application. Virtual machine configurations up to 768 virtual CPUs, 24 TB of RAM, and 1024 devices to meet all your application needs. Consult the individual solution limits to ensure that you do not exceed the supported configurations for your environment.

Enhanced Security
Protect sensitive virtual machine data with strong encryption. Role-based access simplifies administration, while extensive logging and auditing enable better accountability and easier forensic analysis.

Ecosystem Excellence
Get support for a broad ecosystem of hardware OEM suppliers, technology service partners, applications and guest operating systems.

User-friendly experience
Manage day-to-day administrative operations with a built-in modern UI based on HTML5 standards. For customers who need to automate operations, VMware offers a vSphere command-line interface and a developer-friendly, REST-based API.

purchase

Customers can use ESXi (ESX) as part of a paid vSphere edition or with the free vSphere Hypervisor edition so you can easily create and provision virtual machines in minutes.
