ESX Server 3i is the industry’s first hardware-integrated ultra thin hypervisor built on a next-generation thin architecture, giving your organization an efficient foundation for building a dynamic, secure, reliability, manageability & automated data center.

ESX Server 3i represents a significant advance in realizing the vision of virtualization as the standard computing platform for x86 servers, further simplifying IT operations through integration with server hardware.

ESX Server 3i provides all the benefits and features including:

• Increases security with a small, virtualization-centric package that minimizes attack surface area and requires minimal patching
• Provides full integration with Virtual Center 2.5
• Integrates with hardware to ensure compatibility, certification, and optimized configurations
• Enables standards-based management of the underlying hardware
• Works in conjunction with VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) to achieve plug-and-play capacity scaling for your datacenter.

ESX Server 3i Installable is supported only on Dell 2950 (full support) and on HP DL380 G5 (experimental support).
