No, you mis-interpreted the document. It says:
Want More? Intel Hardware RAID Solutions Offer:
...
•VMware* ESXi Virtualization Support
So if you want RAID with ESXi-support ("more"), then you need "Intel Hardware RAID". But that is not part of this server/motherboard:
"...The Intel® Server Board SC000VCL on-board SATA/SAS controller will support the RAID Arrays..."
On-board "fake-raid" (software-raid, bios-raid) is *NOT* supported. ESXi supports either stand-alone raid controllers, or add-on chips/modules with hardware-raid chip (IIRC even Intel makes these add-on cards)
