VMware ESX Server is virtual infrastructure software for partitioning, consolidating and managing systems in mission-critical environments. ESX Server and VMware Virtual Infrastructure Nodes provide a highly scalable virtual machine platform with advanced resource management capabilities, which can be managed by VMware VirtualCenter.

Ideally suited for enterprise datacenters, ESX Server minimizes the total cost of ownership (TCO) of computing infrastructure by increasing resource utilization, expanding computing capacity and maximizing server manageability.
