Take a look at this VMware KB: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1006543 for the difference between ESX and ESXi in general.

Basic difference: ESXi has no service console (RHEL virtual machine with service tools) and can be installed on flash drive.

ESX and ESXi has absolutely the same functionality - VMotion, DRS, Fault Tolerance etc...
