VMware ESXi Insights

What is VMware ESXi?

VMware ESXi is a bare-metal hypervisor. It's installed directly onto the server hardware, allowing multiple virtual machines (VMs) to run on a single physical host. This improves resource utilization and reduces hardware costs. ESXi is commonly used for server virtualization, consolidating workloads, and creating a foundation for cloud computing environments.
