IT teams are under constant pressure to meet fluctuating market trends and heightened customer demands. At the same time, they must stretch IT resources to accommodate increasingly complex projects. Fortunately, ESXi formerly known as ESX helps balance the need for both better business outcomes and IT savings. VMware ESXi enables you to:
Get all your vSphere hardware, ESXi hardware, and operating system compatibility questions answered.
Maximize the performance of VMware vSphere 6.5 with expert advice.
Discover the tested, recommended limits for selecting and configuring your virtual and physical equipment.
With a footprint of just 150MB, ESXi lets you do more with less while minimizing security threats to your hypervisor.
Get support for a broad ecosystem of hardware OEM vendors, technology service partners, apps, and guest operating systems.
Accommodate apps of any size. Configure virtual machines up to 128 virtual CPUs, 6 TB of RAM and 120 devices to satisfy all your application needs. Consult individual solution limits to ensure you do not exceed supported configurations for your environment. Learn more about configuration maximums.
Manage day-to-day administrative operations with built-in modern UI based on HTML5 standards. For customers who need to automate their operations, VMware offers both a vSphere Command Line Interface and developer-friendly REST-based APIs.
Protect sensitive virtual machine data with powerful encryption capabilities. Role-based access simplifies administration, and extensive logging and auditing ensure greater accountability and easier forensic analysis.

With our software-defined data center powered by VMware, we can scale easily, sustain our growth in a controlled and compliant manner, and respond quickly to new business demands
