VMware ESXi Available for Free
by Wyatt WalterVMware has released its ESXi hypervisor free of charge. The ESXi hypervisor is the ESX hypervisor without the Service Console which allows the hypervisor to drop to an astonishing 32MB in size. The ESX hypervisor allows guest virtual machines to access the hardware of the host at near bare-hardware speeds. ESXi can be tied into VMware Infrastructure, the same as ESX. VMware HA, a component of the Infrastructure suite allows virtual guests to be moved to different hardware hosts which moves a step closer to true ‘cloud computing’. Something no other virtualization software offers. The move most likely comes in response to the release of Microsoft’s Hyper-V released with Server 2008.
