Create the foundation for building a dynamic, self-optimizing data center with VMware ESX Server. ESX Server abstracts processor, memory, storage and networking resources into multiple virtual machines, giving you greater hardware utilization and flexibility. Production-proven at thousands of customers of all sizes, ESX Server delivers the highest levels of performance, scalability and flexibility.

Start Achieving the Benefits of Virtualization

• ESX Server installs on the “bare metal” and allows multiple unmodified operating systems and their applications to run in virtual machines that share physical resources.
• Each virtual machine represents a complete system, with processors, memory, networking, storage and BIOS.
• Advanced resource allocation policies for virtual machines allow you to guarantee resources to even your most resource-intensive applications.

Benefits of Virtualization:

• Realize production server consolidation and containment by running software applications on fewer servers.
• Provide advanced business continuity protection at lower cost and deliver high availability for critical applications.
• Streamline software test and development by consolidating disparate development, testing, and staging environments with multiple operating systems on the same hardware.
• Re-host legacy applications on new hardware for improved reliability.
