Deliver unmatched levels of performance and reliability with VMware ESXi while saving money on hardware, power and cooling costs and running a more responsive datacenter.
Create your First Virtual Machine in Just Minutes
Create virtual machines quickly and easily with the menu-driven startup and automatic configurations or import a virtual appliance (a prepackaged virtual machine) from the VMware Virtual Appliance Marketplace. You can also deploy servers that have VMware ESXi preinstalled to experience true “plug and play” virtualization.
Consolidate with Peace of Mind
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.
