I don't think it can be abbreviated any further, can it ?

ESX in itself is an abbreviation of Elastic Sky X (VMware project).

This is confirmed in this thread by VMware staff:

I don't think they refer to Elastic Sky X when they are talking about ESX.

So, it's like with Windows XP, the XP was for eXPerience, but they always called it XP.
