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.
