Overall Satisfaction with VMware ESXi
We use VMware ESXi on various HPE hosts for our server and client virtualization in combination with GPU cards. ESXi is a powerful piece of software that is capable of hosting a large amount of VM's with a very small management footprint. Is is very stable, consumes few resources, and [is] easy, or let's better say, very easy to install. For most of the big vendors, you can find predefined custom images with all necessary drivers etc. for the appropriate HW usage.
