Compaired to ESX ESXi what are the limits of the differences of ESXi?

So, we have a great investment in ESX Server and now VMware released ESXi for free.

From what I've read I can't find all the differences other than the COS.

Is can someone please tell me why I wouldn't move to ESXi and lean on it when it's free and the support is less than half the price, it's on ESX?

I don't see anything about the ability of VCB with ESXi, DRA/HA functionality still intact when used with vCenter?

Today in the cost conscious times a penny saved is a good thing... Or is it!

Anyone who had seen the differences and limitations between ESX and ESXi, I would greatly appreciate feedback...

Take a look at this article which links Duncan to: http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2008/09/02/esx-vs-esxi/

Here's the article comparing ESX ESXi vs: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1006543

  • What are the differences between TNT5002 and TNT5004

    Hello

    I am the design of an interface card that will include two controllers GPIB (TNT5002) who will work on PCIe via PEX8112 (PCIe to PCI bridge) and have several questions on the forum:

    1. I use TNT5004 on their advice, but only offer tnt5002 purchase, what are the differences between them?
    2. Are there other relevant chips best suited to implement PCIe two interface GPIB?

    The technical reference manual can be found here:

    I wasn't able to find reference material for this chip models. If there is, it's probably only for the GPIB to PCI.

    RT

    What are the differences between RT and Win 8 Pro?

    Windows 8 - this runs on processors traditional x 86 - x 64 for Intel and AMD, and the same apps that runs on Windows 7, Vista, and Windows XP.

    Windows RT - built on the same basis as Windows 8, it works on a different processor called ARM and not running programs in Windows 7, Vista, or Windows XP. In addition, it comes with Microsoft Office 2013 while Windows 8 does not work. It only comes on the new devices, in contrast to Windows 8 you can buy a license for an existing computer.

    You do not have a story to ask questions that are clearly answered in the documentation.

    Hi Marion,.

    BSE and OSB are two different products for the provision of the capacity of the bus service (Routing and transformation)

    I got to know after its acquisition by Oracle BEA, the ALSB is renamed to OSB.

    Yes. Prior to the acquisition of BEA, Oracle used OESB (Oracle Enterprise Service Bus) like a bus service, but after Oracle renamed ALSB (Aqualogic Service Bus) in OSB and started to help her. SOD below should help you understand-

    First of all, note that it is not Windows XP Pro and Windows XP, there
    Windows XP Pro vs Windows XP Home Edition.
     
    XP Home and Professional are identical except that professional
    includes a few features (primarily related to security and networking)
    away from home? Most individuals need not and would never use
    These extra features and will see no benefit from the upgrade.

    Hi there;

    These two concept has been explained in the link here: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14223/constra.htm
    I want to learn the difference between ACTIVATE and VALIDATE. Suppose I have a person table. There is a salary (int), name (nvarchar), country (nvarchar), family name (nvarchar) and date of birth (datetime) column. There are a few lines that the pay is less. If I create a constraint that the salary must be zero, what happens if it is activated or validated?
