Build the Foundation of a Responsive Data Center

Create the foundation for the dynamic and automated data center with VMware ESX - the market leading hypervisor, production-proven at thousands of customers of all sizes. VMware ESX abstracts server processor, memory, storage and networking resources into multiple virtual machines, forming the robust foundation of the VMware Infrastructure 3 suite. Since 2001 VMware ESX has set the standard for highest levels of performance, scalability and reliability.

VMware ESX is now also available as VMware ESXi, offering all the same functionality but with a thin 32 MB footprint that provides unparalleled security and reliability, while integration as server firmware makes deployment fast and easy. VMware ESXi will soon be available integrated in server systems. It is now available for purchase as a standalone hard drive install.

The rich capabilities of VMware Infrastructure 3 are packaged into four offerings targeted for various IT infrastructure environments: VMware ESXi, Foundation, Standard and Enterprise.
