ESXi | Bare Metal Hypervisor
ESXi is a type of hypervisor, software that allows multiple operating systems to run on a single physical server.
It is used for virtualization, i.e. for creating a virtual version of a computer system, including hardware and operating system, on a physical server. In this way, multiple virtual machines can run on the same server, each with its own operating system and applications that can be managed and accessed remotely.
ESXi is a type of bare-metal hypervisor, meaning that it runs directly on the physical server hardware without the need for a host operating system.
Other related technologies include virtual machines, virtual networks and virtual storage.
BITS experts have deployed ESXi in a variety of projects. A selection of case studies and references can be found below.
