What does VMware ESXi stand for?

VMware ESXi stands for “VMware vSphere Hypervisor ESXi”. The “ESXi” part specifically refers to the embedded version of the hypervisor, which is the software that allows multiple virtual machines to run on a single physical machine. VMware ESXi is a type-1 hypervisor, which means it runs directly on the host machine’s hardware, allowing for better performance and efficiency than a type-2 hypervisor, which runs on top of an operating system. The VMware vSphere suite is a collection of virtualization products that includes ESXi, vCenter Server, and other tools for managing virtual infrastructure.

  1. If you need “full” licenses and vcenter for your test lab you should think of becoming a member of your local VMUG. https://community.vmug.com/home
    For a nice yearly price you get all licenses you want in an amount which is higher than I ever needed (2 vCenter, a few vsphere, nsx etc)
