It was a good solution, before. Before Broadcom bought it. Now, impossible to download new patchs.
Bye bye VMWare.

What is VMware vSphere Hypervisor?
VMware vSphere Hypervisor ( based on ESXi ) is a free bare-metal hypervisor that virtualizes servers so you can consolidate your applications on less hardware.
------------------------------------------------- TECH SPECS ----------------------------------------------
CPU Technical minimum: single socket with two cores. Recommended minimum: dual socket with four or more cores per CPU
Memory Technical minimum: 4 GB Recommended minimum: 8 GB or more
Network Technical minimum: single 1 GbE network adapter Recommended minimum: dual 1 GbE network adapters
--------------------------------------------------- Installation ------------------------------------------------
You can easily install vSphere Hypervisor on your own or with some guided help. If you’re looking for a do-it-yourself approach, just download the installer, accept the end-user license agreement and select which local drive you want to install it on.
Creating Virtual Machines
Once you’ve installed vSphere Hypervisor, there are three ways to create virtual machines.
Use VMware vCenter Converter to transfer existing servers into virtual machines or import existing VMware and third-party virtual machine images. Create virtual machines from scratch by specifying the number of CPUs, the amount of memory, the disks and network interfaces you want, then load the operating system from ISO images or a boot disk. Import a virtual appliance. There are hundreds to choose from on the VMware Solution Exchange.
Config
Once you’ve installed or imported your virtual machines, you’ll need to configure them. This Getting Started demo will walk you through the process.
Need support? You can now purchase Per Incident Support for VMware vSphere Hypervisor.
Moving up to a paid vSphere or vSphere with Operations Management Edition lets you further optimize your IT infrastructure. You'll be able to Pool computing and storage resources across multiple physical hosts.

this say esxi is free, but it is 995$ for a permanent license. You can get a 60 day trial though. I was under the impression that you could just redo the trial every 60 days (as long as its home use.. single host type deal) and sites found on google claim you can just delete the old license and reboot the host..
This no longer works, or if it does, it didn't work for me. If someone knows how to get a new license, let me know.
VMware vSphere is a great product - virtualization is changing IT in many good ways. One place where we can supplement this virtual IT evolution is in managing VM user access. Let's say you have 100 VMs and want to give someone lab or work access to control one or two VMs, but don't need this person to have full vCenter access.
Shameless plug: We have an app for that. NodeGrid Manager can provide limited user access to particular VMs.
Cheers, Ken

This was nice until I hit the vCPU limits, then became useless, since Enterprise licensing is prohibitively expensive.
