VMware ESXi is the latest hypervisor architecture from VMware. The functionality and performance of VMware ESX and ESXi are the same the difference between the two hypervisors resides in their packaging architecture and operational management.But for now, here are some key points you should know about ESXi vs. Our future posts will compare ESX 4 and ESXi 4 in detail on topics like hardware compatibility list, performance, and management to demonstrate that ESXi is either on par with or superior than ESX. ESXi has a superior architecture and we encourage customers to deploy ESXi as part of any new vSphere deployment.
However, the fact that the older platform, VMware ESX, is not also available for free has lead some people to believe that ESXi may be inferior or not as feature-rich as ESX. VMware made the decision to make VMware ESXi, our next generation hypervisor, freely available to proliferate the VMware platform and allow administrators to prove its value at no cost.
