ESXi is is a bare-metal hypervisor architecture created by VMware Inc. Commercial and free versions of the VMware vSphere Hypervisor operating system (ESXi) are available from the
VMware website. Once the operating system is installed on supported hardware, use a web browser to connect to its IP address. The welcome screen will provide a link to download the VMware vSphere client which is used to create and manage virtual machines.
Once the VMware vSphere client is installed, use it to connect to the ESXi server. To create a new virtual machine, click . The New Virtual Machine Wizard will launch as seen in Figure 1.
