Product Description
VMware ESXi is a next-generation OS-independent hypervisor with a thin architecture, no reliance on a general purpose OS, yet still offers all the same functionality and performance as VMware ESX. ESXi provides security and reliability because of its smaller code base which represents a smaller “attack surface” with less code to patch and hardware-like reliability.
