When I first heard about ESXi I thought : that sounds very familiar.


Go to a box, inject your boot-media and turn it into a VM-player without installing anything.
Forget about the host.

In a way ESX relates to ESXi like Workstation to my MOA-project (Workstation from a LiveCD)
Here is a short comparison:


 ESXi WSi
hardware support very limited ok - drivers can be added easily
boot-time ? 3 min
boot-media USB-stick, ? USB-stick, CD, PXE, local disk
OS ESX Windows
filesystem for VMs vmfs fat32, ntfs, ext2
local display no yes
smp yes yes
max RAM ? 3 - 4 Gb
remote access ssh ?, virtual Center ssh, cifs, vnc
sound for VMs no possible
USB for VMs no possible
IDE-disks for VMs no yes
WLAN ? possible
VMs on USB no yes
VMs on encrypted disks no yes
runs on notebooks no yes





got to read more about ESXi to fill the blanks in the table
