As I wrote several times, I'm working on virtualization at work recently.
Two days ago, VMware made an announcement that they will provide VMware ESXi for Free.
According to their press release, ESXi seems to be the next generation hypervisor. But, so far as I know, ESXi is a subset of VMware ESX Server and the only difference is that ESXi does not contain the service console which is actually RHEL3 based Linux dedicated for management.
In other word, ESXi is the same as Virtual Infrastructure 3i. Here 'i' stands for 'Installable', not 'i' of something cool or superior like the 'i' of iMac.
I'm wondering what kind of revenue model they are thinking about from now...
