podtech vmware roi vdi 300x168 Virtualization for Free with Vmware ESXiRecently Vmware released ESXi. This is a FREE version of their incredible virtualization hypervisor. I think the idea is that in the very near future, most if not all servers will run with this tiny hypervisor pre-loaded.  Then you’ll load whatever OS you want to actually run on top of it. You get the benfit of snapshots, moveability, etc., but with a piece of software that’s TINY (32 mb). Try it yourself…
