VMware ESX Server Virtual Server Hosting
VMware ESX Server is mainframe-class virtual machine software. This solution is typically used by mainframe data centers and cutting edge companies. I have also seen this solution used by start-up companies, which I will discuss later in this article. With ESX server you can do amazing things such as more extensive server consolidation and clustering virtual machines
With ESX Server, the software runs directly on the system's hardware, eliminating the need to install a base OS. In fact, ESX has its own OS.

With ESX server, you can have up to 3.6 GB of RAM per virtual machine as well as high performance network cards
GSX Server is lightning fast so you can’t tell the difference between real systems and its virtual systems (if you have powerful hardware running GSX Server). Furthermore, I have seen data centers use ESX Server for hosting client environments and test environments. In the future, I think many more companies will take advantage of ESX Server as part of their business strategy
