Get Production-Ready Virtualization that is Easy-to-Use
Deliver unmatched levels of performance, reliability and security with VMware ESXi when you launch your first virtual machine minutes after installation.
Create Virtual Machines Quickly and Easily
Using VMware ESXi, you can create virtual machines quickly and easily. A menu-driven startup and automatic configurations and enable you to get virtual machines set up and running in minutes. You can create your own virtual machine, or import a virtual appliance with direct integration between VMware ESXi and the VMware Virtual Appliance Marketplace. You can also deploy servers that have VMware ESXi embedded to experience true “plug and play” virtualization.
Reliably Run Multiple Operating Systems on a Single Server
Deploy mature hypervisor technology that is proven in tens of thousands of customer environments. VMware ESXi helps you to minimize risk by deploying the only operating system independent hypervisor and avoid the security hardening, user access control and anti-virus tasks associated with a typical operating system. Choose from the broadest range of supported guest operating systems, including Windows, Linux, Netware, and Solaris. ESXi offers fault-tolerant features such as storage multipathing and NIC teaming.
Get Higher Consolidation Ratios for the Most Resource Intensive Applications
Run email, databases, ERP and other resource-intensive applications on VMware ESXi’s bare-metal architecture offering advanced memory management and support for scaled-up physical and virtual machines. You can also run virtual machines at twice the consolidation ratio possible with other first-generation hypervisors and minimize your hardware costs.
Manage Virtual Machines Remotely and Save Time, Money and Resources
In addition to consolidation, ESXi saves you money with remote management features, such as configuration, maintenance, patches and updates. Get point-and-click management for your ESXi host and its virtual machines using the intuitive graphical interface of VMware Infrastructure Client. Take snapshots of your virtual machines and roll back changes when testing patches or updates, monitor performance and resource utilization, and perform basic hardware component monitoring.
Seamlessly Upgrade to VMware Infrastructure
Once you've deployed VMware ESXi, upgrading to VMware Infrastructure 3, the most widely deployed virtual infrastructure suite in the market, is as simple as adding a license file. VMware Infrastructure delivers improved service levels and operational efficiency by enabling centralized management, automatic load balancing, business continuity, power management and the ability to live migrate a virtual machine across physical machines to minimize service interruption. The capabilities of VMware Infrastructure are supported on both VMware ESXi and VMware ESX.
