Weighing in at only 32 MB, VMware's ESXi 3.5 Update 3 (Build 123629) is quite possibly the best thing going.

The download takes seconds, the install takes a minute, and once the OS is up, the configuration is about as easy as it gets. From beggining to end, you'll have an ESXi host up in minutes. And with support for 10GB, you'll have things moving along quickly.

ESX 3i you will be able to:
* Get Production-ready Virtualization that's easy and reliable
* Create VMs quickly and easily
* Reliably run multiple operating systems within the ESXi host
* Get higher consolidation ratios for resource hungry applications
* Manage the ESXi host via the VMware Infrastructure Client (VIC)
* Seamlessly upgrade to VMware's Infrastructure 3 by adding a license file

Did I mention it is FREE. Seeing is believing. Download it today. Install on an HP server, and virtualize a server and welcome to the world of hardware independence. You'll be glad you did.
