I need to implement a VMware ESXi (free) server to host some servers.
Where can I locate documents to help me rightsize the ESXi server?
Regards
Marius

I have gathered all the information's about the Cloud Computing events and topics from the conference Cloud Computing Conference 2010. They helped me a lot to gather more information about about the Computing Industry and providing a good opportunity to meet and talk with the world's leading experts of Cloud computing.

Well, it depends on the amount of machines that are you planning to host on that ESXi box. The real problem is find the correct parts!

Marius -

Were you able to get your ESXi server(s) implemented in a way that worked for you? If so, we'd love to have you report back and tell us how it all went!

Compared to flashing a BIOS, Updating a ESXi can be fast and easy - it's such a small footprint, just download the newest version and replace the current one.

These servers really help on to reduce the need of to install and manage third party management agents. We can automate routine tasks by leveraging remote command line scripting environments such as vCLI
