Overall Satisfaction with VMware ESXi
I implemented VMware ESXi host with 2 x 6 core CPUs, 72GB RAM and 500GB local storage. To run three Windows virtual machines with different configurations such as 1) 4 vCPU, 12GB RAM and 80GB storage 2) 3 vCPU, 8GB RAM and 60GB storage 3) 2 vCPU 4GB RAM and 50GB storage. As VMware ESXi is the type 1 hypervisor, we can reduce data centre space, power and IT administrative requirements. In our use case, it was better for IT administrative requirements.
Pros
- High-speed performance.
- Memory occupation is less than 150 MB.
- Itself allows for the basic creation and management of virtual machine.
Cons
- Remove API limitations in the free version.
- Allows more than 8 vCPUs per VM.
- Support from VMware and documentation.
- Reduce data centre space.
- Reduce power consumptions.
- Reduce IT administrative requirements.
The vSphere management interface is going to be web-based and you access that through a web browser by browsing to the IO address of the VMware ESXi host itself and then from there you'll be prompted for a login screen.
